Pasta la vista, baby!
Pasta runs through the veins of every Italian—it's more than just a meal; it's their national pride! This May, we're channeling our inner Italian and bringing you their authentic spaghetti. It doesn't just look scrumptious; it's easy to make and oh-so-delicious!
Did you know there are over 600 types of pasta in the world? It’s true! We have Penne, which is slim and sleek; Ravioli, stuffed with goodness; Fettuccine, the flat ribbons of deliciousness; and Orecchiette, ear-shaped and the ultimate challenge for pasta makers. The list goes on and on. But here’s the fun part: the superstar of Italian kitchens, making an appearance in 1 out of every 5 pasta dishes, is the one and only spaghetti!
The word "spaghetti" comes from the Italian "spago," which means "string" or "twine," perfectly capturing its long, skinny shape. Believe it or not, we owe our thanks to the Arabs for bringing dried pasta to the Mediterranean, turning it into a travel-friendly, long-lasting treat that took Sicily by storm in the 12th century. But let's get to the best part—spaghetti's versatility! Whether you're tossing it with a simple garlic and oil combo or a rich, hearty ragù, this pasta can do it all.
