Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

It’s a little spinach and cheese dumpling, shaped like a pinky finger and smothered in sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous malfatti in the region is found in the back of a liquor store in the town of Napa. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/clementes-at-vals-napa\">Clemente's at Val's\u003c/a>, in a large industrial kitchen, you’ll find three generations of the Cittoni family at work: Mary Cittoni peeling onions and garlic, Joanne Cittoni Gonzalez answering the phone and greeting customers, and her son, Joe, at the stove. At the center of the scene is the patriarch, Clemente Cittoni, still cooking at age 78.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving to Napa from the Lake Como region in Italy in the 1960s, Clemente Cittoni worked as a dishwasher, then graduated to potato peeler and then apprentice cook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lady who taught me was Mrs. Theresa Tamburelli,” he says. “She’s the one who invented the famous pasta malfatti.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/266807941\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, famous in Napa. In the kitchen, Cittoni sautees onions, spinach and a few other ingredients in a saucepan and forces the mixture through a meat grinder to combine before adding cheese and eggs. He follows his mentor’s instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mrs. Tamburelli said, ‘Don’t measure anything Clemente,'\" he remembers. \"'Un pizzico di che, un pizzico di li,’ a pinch here, a pinch there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His hands are now too arthritic to form dumplings, so his daughter, Joanne Cittoni Gonzalez, takes over, pinching off bits of filling and rolling each, lightning fast, on floured butcher board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The malfatti are hand-rolled by my mother, by my son, by my own self, by hand,\" Gonzalez says. \"There's no malfatti machine, but they come out very beautiful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10969747\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10969747\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti-800x554.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Gonzalez (L), Clemente Cittoni, and Joanne Cittoni Gonzalez make malfatti together in an industrial kitchen at the back of a Napa liquor store.\" width=\"800\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti-800x554.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti-400x277.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti-1180x817.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RollingMalfatti-960x665.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Gonzalez (L), Clemente Cittoni, and Joanne Cittoni Gonzalez make malfatti together in an industrial kitchen at the back of a Napa liquor store. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When retired judge and lifelong customer Ray Guadagni walks in, he’s greeted with happy shouts and kisses. Guadagni and I meet up here, then drive just half a mile over the Napa River to Little Italy, the neighborhood where he grew up, and where Napa’s malfatti began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We walk by modest Victorians, with Guadagni listing off names he remembers from the 1950s: the Cavagnaros, the five Martini sisters, the two different houses where he and other neighborhood kids could take accordion lessons. You get the picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young, single Italian men first arrived in this neighborhood in the 1860s to work on the railroad. In 1906, Italians fleeing the aftermath of San Francisco’s earthquake found new lives in Little Italy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the town of Napa remained blue collar, with people working in factories and orchards, but when they could, they visited the pride of the neighborhood: the Depot Restaurant. Theresa Tamburelli -- herself a San Francisco earthquake refugee -- opened it in the 1920s. Clemente Cittoni came on board 40 years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people were poor and didn’t have money to go to dinner that often,” says Guadagni. “My dad ran a wrecking yard. While he was not wealthy, he loved food,” so the family had most Sunday dinners at the Depot, a block from their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a little boy, Guadagni would often fetch what amounted to 1950s takeout there on other nights of the week. His mom would send him to the restaurant’s back door, with a pot from her own cupboard and a note requesting ravioli and malfatti. They’d fill up the pot and send little Ray Guadagni back home with dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10969761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10969761\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"Ray Guadagni stands at the back door of the now-shuttered Depot Restaurant, where he would pick up malfatti to-go as a boy.\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-800x518.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-1180x763.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-960x621.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ray Guadagni stands at the back door of the now-shuttered Depot Restaurant, where he would pick up malfatti to-go as a boy. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Malfatti was legendary, and its origin story has a few variations, depending on whom you ask. Local historian Lauren Coodley, author of \u003ca href=\"http://www.laurencoodley.com/napa_transformation.html\">\"Napa: The Transformation of an American Town,\"\u003c/a> says that, in the late 1920s when a visiting baseball team came to town, Theresa Tamburelli intended to make them ravioli, but ran out of flour to make dough for the pasta (Clemente Cittoni says Tamburelli forgot the team’s reservation, and others remember it being a football team).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamburelli did have extra ravioli filling on hand, so she created little dumplings -- like fingers, meatballs or sausages -- and boiled them in a pot, served them with her famous meat sauce and called them malfatti (meaning “mistake” or “poorly made”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"pRsOgGEBNrbyNMRvhBHGEgsQb7aZRU96\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a huge hit, and people started requesting it,” says Coodley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfatti became as ubiquitous on Napa’s Italian restaurant menus as spaghetti and ravioli.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it’s hard to confirm that malfatti was born in Napa. Italy’s Lombardy region boasts an oblong “green gnocchi” malfatti, and in Siena they make gnudi, little balls made out of ricotta and sometimes spinach. But there’s no doubt that the town of Napa made the Depot Restaurant’s malfatti its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Theresa Tamburelli retired, Clemente Cittoni became head cook as well as the heart and soul of the Depot, greeting all tables and singing “Happy Birthday” to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made you feel so welcome,\" says Ray Guadagni. “He would say, ‘Raymundo’ and put his arms around me and kiss me on the cheeks. He was so hot and sweaty, and it was a wet kiss. He did it with everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10969756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10969756\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/Tamburelli-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Theresa Tamburelli (R) with sister Rosie Martini.

Doumani says it’s not really a rivalry, but certainly “there were two different schools of malfatti in Napa Valley,” and everyone has a preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Sone is originally from Japan, he’s obsessed with old American-style Italian restaurants.

It’s a little spinach and cheese dumpling, shaped like a pinky finger and smothered in sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous malfatti in the region is found in the back of a liquor store in the town of Napa. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/clementes-at-vals-napa\">Clemente's at Val's\u003c/a>, in a large industrial kitchen, you’ll find three generations of the Cittoni family at work: Mary Cittoni peeling onions and garlic, Joanne Cittoni Gonzalez answering the phone and greeting customers, and her son, Joe, at the stove. At the center of the scene is the patriarch, Clemente Cittoni, still cooking at age 78.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After moving to Napa from the Lake Como region in Italy in the 1960s, Clemente Cittoni worked as a dishwasher, then graduated to potato peeler and then apprentice cook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lady who taught me was Mrs. Theresa Tamburelli,” he says. “She’s the one who invented the famous pasta malfatti.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Guadagni and I meet up here, then drive just half a mile over the Napa River to Little Italy, the neighborhood where he grew up, and where Napa’s malfatti began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We walk by modest Victorians, with Guadagni listing off names he remembers from the 1950s: the Cavagnaros, the five Martini sisters, the two different houses where he and other neighborhood kids could take accordion lessons. You get the picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young, single Italian men first arrived in this neighborhood in the 1860s to work on the railroad. In 1906, Italians fleeing the aftermath of San Francisco’s earthquake found new lives in Little Italy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the town of Napa remained blue collar, with people working in factories and orchards, but when they could, they visited the pride of the neighborhood: the Depot Restaurant. Theresa Tamburelli -- herself a San Francisco earthquake refugee -- opened it in the 1920s. Clemente Cittoni came on board 40 years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people were poor and didn’t have money to go to dinner that often,” says Guadagni. “My dad ran a wrecking yard. While he was not wealthy, he loved food,” so the family had most Sunday dinners at the Depot, a block from their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a little boy, Guadagni would often fetch what amounted to 1950s takeout there on other nights of the week. His mom would send him to the restaurant’s back door, with a pot from her own cupboard and a note requesting ravioli and malfatti. They’d fill up the pot and send little Ray Guadagni back home with dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10969761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10969761\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"Ray Guadagni stands at the back door of the now-shuttered Depot Restaurant, where he would pick up malfatti to-go as a boy.\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-800x518.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-1180x763.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/RayAtDepot-960x621.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ray Guadagni stands at the back door of the now-shuttered Depot Restaurant, where he would pick up malfatti to-go as a boy. \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Malfatti was legendary, and its origin story has a few variations, depending on whom you ask. Local historian Lauren Coodley, author of \u003ca href=\"http://www.laurencoodley.com/napa_transformation.html\">\"Napa: The Transformation of an American Town,\"\u003c/a> says that, in the late 1920s when a visiting baseball team came to town, Theresa Tamburelli intended to make them ravioli, but ran out of flour to make dough for the pasta (Clemente Cittoni says Tamburelli forgot the team’s reservation, and others remember it being a football team).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamburelli did have extra ravioli filling on hand, so she created little dumplings -- like fingers, meatballs or sausages -- and boiled them in a pot, served them with her famous meat sauce and called them malfatti (meaning “mistake” or “poorly made”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a huge hit, and people started requesting it,” says Coodley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malfatti became as ubiquitous on Napa’s Italian restaurant menus as spaghetti and ravioli.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it’s hard to confirm that malfatti was born in Napa. Italy’s Lombardy region boasts an oblong “green gnocchi” malfatti, and in Siena they make gnudi, little balls made out of ricotta and sometimes spinach. But there’s no doubt that the town of Napa made the Depot Restaurant’s malfatti its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Theresa Tamburelli retired, Clemente Cittoni became head cook as well as the heart and soul of the Depot, greeting all tables and singing “Happy Birthday” to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made you feel so welcome,\" says Ray Guadagni. “He would say, ‘Raymundo’ and put his arms around me and kiss me on the cheeks. He was so hot and sweaty, and it was a wet kiss. He did it with everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10969756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10969756\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/Tamburelli-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Theresa Tamburelli (R) with sister Rosie Martini.

Doumani says it’s not really a rivalry, but certainly “there were two different schools of malfatti in Napa Valley,” and everyone has a preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Sone is originally from Japan, he’s obsessed with old American-style Italian restaurants.

She’s adapted that book into a play at Berkeley Rep, with help from Berkeley Rep’s associate director, Lisa Peterson. It’s a tale of a menopause fueled mid-life crisis careening from a visit to Burning Man, a love affair, a divorce, and a rough bout of depression. The show is a comedy, Loh told me, but it comes at a really poignant time for anyone troubled by the election, or suffering from seasonal affective disorder. “The show is running in the darkness of winter,” Loh said, “and we are lighting candles in the sanctuary of the theater, and we’re going to find joy and were going to outlast this time.” Details for\u003cem> The Madwoman in the Volvo\u003c/em> are \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyrep.org/season/1617/11542.asp#tabbed-nav=seehear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLRFswb167Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jan. 6 – 8\u003c/strong>: I’ve been wanting to feature this music on the Do List since I first heard \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamasiwashington.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamasi Washington\u003c/a>‘s \u003cem>The Epic\u003c/em> last year. The music is a a wonderful mashup of free jazz, jazz fusion and big band styles, with a chorus and strings on top, and somehow it all hangs together. Washington has been a powerful influence in other ways; he did some arrangements for Kendrick Lamar’s album \u003cem>To Pimp A Butterfly\u003c/em>. He’ll be playing here with his dad, Ricky Washington, and a “small” touring band (two drummers, three horns, including Washington and his dad Ricky, both on sax, a pianist, a bassist and a singer).

The show is a comedy, Loh told me, but it comes at a really poignant time for anyone troubled by the election, or suffering from seasonal affective disorder. “The show is running in the darkness of winter,” Loh said, “and we are lighting candles in the sanctuary of the theater, and we’re going to find joy and were going to outlast this time.” Details for\u003cem> The Madwoman in the Volvo\u003c/em> are \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyrep.org/season/1617/11542.asp#tabbed-nav=seehear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OLRFswb167Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OLRFswb167Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jan. 6 – 8\u003c/strong>: I’ve been wanting to feature this music on the Do List since I first heard \u003ca href=\"http://www.kamasiwashington.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamasi Washington\u003c/a>‘s \u003cem>The Epic\u003c/em> last year.
