Jennifer Garner is emulating her new sitcom The Last Thing He Told Me, especially when it comes to cooking.
The actress, 51, posted a video to Instagram for her "Pretend Cooking Show" series, in which she prepares a recipe from the Apple TV+ book-to-series adaptation "Hannah's Brown Butter & Sage Pasta."
Garner narrates an extract from the book in which she mentions gathering components like sage for the recipe in her garden while holding a lantern up at night. She then demonstrated cooking the sauce (with butter browned), boiling the pasta in a saucepan on her hob, and then combining all of the ingredients.
She said in the caption, alongside the recipe and instructions for making the pasta, "Sometimes, during a quiet take on #TheLastThingHeToldMe set last summer, chunks of @lauradaveauthor's book played back in my mind like an inner monologue." I adore her writing (though, please forgive me, Queen, I cut the hell out of this scene here)."
"And, not for nothing, I really love this @poggiotrattoria-inspired pasta, which is ready in the time it takes to prepare the noodles," she said.
According to an Apple TV+ synopsis, Garner plays Hannah in The Last Thing He Told Me, a lady who must build a relationship with her teenage step-daughter in order to find her husband, who has inexplicably disappeared.
While promoting the series on The Today Show earlier this month, the mom of three who shares daughters Seraphina Rose, 14, and Violet, 17, and son Samuel, 11, with ex Ben Affleck discussed being a fan of the show and writing a letter to producers asking to play the role.
"I put my kids to bed, made some coffee, and stayed up all night writing impassioned letters about — 'I don't do this very often, but I feel called to play this role." "I adore it, and here's why," she explained.
"It's really a motherhood story." "It's a love story about a mother and her stepdaughter, or a woman becoming a mother and a child becoming a stepdaughter, and how you can always find family," she continued.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice, Aisha Tyler, and Augusto Aguilera also appear on the show. The Last Thing He Told Me is now available on Apple TV+..jpg "Quranic Quotes")
