ITALIAN PASTA, HOW IT SHOULD BE.
Pasta, a preparation rooted in ancient times, remains one of the foundational elements of the Mediterranean diet.
Pasta might seem simple, but it demands meticulous care in selecting ingredients and preparing the dish.
A few rules and a deep understanding of tradition make a significant difference. We are Italians, and we know how it’s done.
Each pasta shape is designed to complement certain types of sauces. The variety of shapes and sauces may differ significantly. How to pair them is rooted in tradition.
When it comes to pairing, it’s all about finding the right balance. Thicker and robust sauces harmonize perfectly with broader and sturdier pasta, allowing the pasta to absorb the sauce without overpowering it. On the other hand, more delicate sauces find their match in thinner and finer pasta, creating a delightful balance of flavours.
PS: And for what’s left on the plate when pasta is finished…..there’s nothing else to do than collect it with bread!
MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MEAL.
Historically termed “the food of the poor” due to its carbohydrate richness and simple ingredients, pasta has continually served as the perfect dish for gatherings of friends and family around the table.
“La spaghettata” is not just spaghetti to us; it’s about bringing people together to share, laugh and bond over a simple meal everyone loves.
WHEN THE SAUCE IS RIGHT,
YOU’VE GOTTA DO THE SCARPETTA!
