Emma Stone & Jesse Plemons: Spaghetti, Meatballs & More

🍝 Cinema Meets Comfort Food
Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons step into The New York Times Cooking studio and swap red carpets for red sauce. Inspired by a pivotal spaghetti-and-meatballs scene in their upcoming film Bugonia, they roll up their sleeves to make the dish from scratch — flour on the counter, jokes in the air, and zero “perfect chef” vibes in sight.

🎬 Bugonia on a Plate
This isn’t just about following a recipe. As they stir the sauce and shape meatballs, you can feel how much this dish matters to the story they’re telling on screen. Every simmer and sprinkle of cheese feels like a rehearsal for that key movie moment — only here, the kitchen is the set and the pasta is the script.

👩‍🍳 Why Foodies Will Love It
Watching two A-list actors figure out who leads, who stirs, and who’s “doing it wrong” in the kitchen is half the fun. It’s messy, playful and totally relatable — exactly the kind of energy that makes spaghetti and meatballs the ultimate comfort food: simple, nostalgic and perfect for sharing.

🍷 Steal the Vibe at Home
Think cozy night in: big bowl of spaghetti, heavy-handed Parm, and a movie that actually means something to you. Cook together, talk over the sauce, taste as you go, and let the chaos be part of the ritual. Because sometimes the best dinner is less about plating… and more about who’s standing next to you at the stove.
