“Italians constantly think of two things, and one of them is spaghetti”, Catherine Deneuve used to say during her trip around Italy. Today we can say so not only about the Italians, pasta has conquered the whole world!
Have any doubts about that? Then let me show you:
Many national cuisines have pasta recipes, vegetarians love pasta, and moreover how weird it may sound, pasta is healthy to eat!
Not only Italians are crazy about creating records with pasta. Fast spaghetti eating record was made in England: Peter Daudesuel ate 91.44 meters of spaghetti in 12 seconds (I even can not imagine how he managed).
Fast cooking record was made by a Swiss chef Guido Markedzhani: he cooked 5000 serves of pasta with Bolognese sauce.
And the longest spaghetti of 211,5 metres long and weighing 81 kg was cooked in La Terazza restaurant in Ukraine. It should be mentioned though that an Italian chef Stefano Belardi did it.
International Pasta Day is celebrated on 25 October in many countries and many restaurants, and not only in Italian ones.
Pasta can be as various as life itself, there is no strict classification. Italian cuisine always generate new kinds of pasta, and some recipes are gone into history. Each pasta recipe, each name of a dish sounds as a song, just listen for it: tagliatelle, fettuccine, bucatini, cannelloni, penne, fusilli, farfalle, stellini, ravioli, orecchiette. Have you managed to catch a delicious melody?
Now it’s time to tell you how to cook pasta. Pasta should be slightly undercooked, so called al dente, that means “the tooth”! But it does not stick to toothJ quite opposite. Pasta cooked al dente is tender, but still slightly firm to bite.
Pasta sauce can be spicy as in penne with chilli sauce recipe or tender as in the recipe of Nero ravioli with salmon in cheese sauce. Pasta sauce can be rich or subtle. One thing I know for sure – pasta sauce should be tasty!
I’ve personally tried each pasta recipe at Food’n’Chef, rank imposes obligations so to say. Thus feel free to choose any of them and you’ll enjoy, I guarantee that!
