Count on Fred: What do two meatballs, plus two hard-boiled eggs, plus marinara sauce, plus angel-hair pasta equal? Capellini alla palermo ($7.95), one of the house specialties at Fred's Italian Corner (2278 West Holcombe, 713-665-7506). The angel-hair pasta is buried under a load of thick, slightly sweet, ruby-red marinara sauce. The meatballs impart a noticeable heat that permeates the rest of the dish, and the hard-boiled eggs add an interesting texture to the sauce. It all adds up to a simple, more-than-satisfying dish.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
