It's impossible to think of Italian
food without a warm plate of pasta and some great wine. Made with flour, pasta
can be formed into sheets, strips or any other shape. In fact, you'll find over
500 pasta shapes across the globe.
On those super busy weeknights, a beloved plate of pasta can come to your rescue. There's no denying the fact that it is easily the ultimate comfort food. Its not only the case for Italians but for the all of us around the globe. Just bung in your favourites, simmer the sauce, sprinkle some cheese and you're sorted! Pasta dishes are an easy way to please even the most finicky eaters. The varieties are endless. You can choose from spaghetti, penne, gnocchi, farfalle (bow ties), fettuccine (flat strips) and many others.
Here's a list of some of the best Italian Pasta dishes that won the world over.
1. Pasta Carbonara
This simple Roman pasta dish derives its name from 'carbone' meaning coal. It was a pasta popular with the coal miners. The original recipe calls for guanciale, which is pig's cheek, but since its not easily available, the chef has used bacon instead.
2. Home Style Baked Pasta
You can never go wrong with this home-style baked pasta. Pasta, layers of cheese, veggies and a tangy tomato sauce, all baked till golden and glorious
3.Spaghetti Bolognese
Bolognese sauce is a meat-based sauce for pasta which originated from Bologna, Italy. This recipe uses minced lamb meat, onions, tomato, lots of Parmesan and the warmth of nutmeg.
4. Lasagna
Layer after layer of cheesy explosion and gorgeous meat, this comes quite close to heaven. Lasagna is known to be one of the oldest types of pastas which originated in Naples, Italy.
5.Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce
Gnocchi is a type of pasta in the form of dumplings which are usually made with wheat flour, potato, semolina, egg and breadcrumbs. They can be served with various sauces, this recipe uses a freshly-made tangy tomato sauce
These are some of the more popular pasta dishes that the world has taken to their liking but I am sure there's a whole different world of many more variants of pasta dishes that I have missed out on. But on that note I hope you all will not miss out on the chances of trying out these above mentioned variety. Like always please feel free to share your experiences and lists of choices if you are willing(on the comments section or you could always share some links too)...would be much appreciated. And as always, Cheerssss & Enjoy.
