Often when I get home and slice it open, the melon is a disappointing light pink and not at all sweet.

There’s incredible pasta, and there’s OK pasta. Even an objectively bland pasta is tasty in my eyes (er... belly). The most memorable pasta my taste buds regularly yearn for was served inside a Parmigiano Reggiano rind in Florence, Italy.
