This has been an exciting month for Mario Batali! The celebrity chef celebrated his 51st birthday last week, just in time for the debut of his new daytime talk show, The Chew. Since his birthday was on a Monday, Batali took to the kitchen to create a Meatless Monday lunch of Pasta alla Norma. He then offered the recipe to his 38,000 Facebook fans, along with the official Meatless Monday video, which highlights the health and environmental reasons for cutting back.
