  • The Geography of Italian Pasta
    The Geography of Italian Pasta David Alexander University of Massachusetts, Amherst Pasta is as much an institution as a food in Italy, where it has made a significant contribution to national culture. Its historical geography is one of strong regional variations based on climate, social factors, and diffusion patterns. These are considered herein; a taxonomy of pasta types is presented and illustrated in a series of maps that show regional variations. The classification scheme divides pasta into eight classes based on morphology and, where appropriate, filling. These include the spaghetti and tubular families, pasta shells, ribbon forms, short pasta, very small or “micro- pasta” types, the ravioli family of filled pasta, and the dumpling family, which includes gnocchi. Three patterns of dif- fusion of pasta types are identified: by sea, usually from the Mezzogiorno and Sicily, locally through adjacent regions, and outwards from the main centers of adoption. Many dry pasta forms are native to the south and center of Italy, while filled pasta of the ravioli family predominates north of the Apennines. Changes in the geography of pasta are re- viewed and analyzed in terms of the modern duality of culture and commercialism. Key Words: pasta, Italy, cultural geography, regional geography.

  • Carbonaraday
    6 APRIL 2019: #CARBONARADAY NEVER WAS THERE A MORE DEBATED RECIPE... THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF “CARBONARA” ACCORDING TO THE BOOKS OF ACADEMIA BARILLA’S GASTRONOMIC LIBRARY It is cited for the first time in an Italian film from 1951 starring Aldo Fabrizi. And three years later, it appears in the literary work “Racconti Romani” (Roman Tales) by Alberto Moravia. But the first recipe for pasta alla carbonara was published – strangerly enough – in a restaurant guide for a district in Chicago. Luca Cesari’s research work in Academia Barilla’s Gastronomic Library provides a detailed, totally new reconstruction of the origins and evolution of the world’s most popular pasta dish. Suffice to say that the ingredients of the first ever carbonara’s recipe published in Italy were bacon, gruyere and garlic: not a trace of pecorino cheese, guanciale (cured pork jowl) or pepper – as purists would say! For #CarbonaraDay 2019, Barilla starts from the origins of this recipe, giving s nod to the future through a contest organised in cooperation with La Cucina Italiana, that will give food influencers, journalists and pasta lovers the chance to make their own version of carbonara, using the classic ingredients, or opting for the new ones… It is the most widely debated, interpreted and beloved Italian recipe in the world. The etymology of its name is still a mystery, with three possible explanations: the carboneria (a secret society), the carbonai (charcoal kiln builders) and the colour of the pepper used to prepare it. While, considering the origin of the recipe various theories are still being debated.

  • Pasta Carbonara Servings: 6-8 Prep Time: 15-20 Minutes Quite Often Made with Spaghetti, but Feel Free to Use Any Pasta
    Pasta Carbonara Servings: 6-8 Prep Time: 15-20 minutes Quite often made with spaghetti, but feel free to use any pasta. The peas are optionally, but do a nice fresh taste to this smoky creamy dish. Play around with different herbs, but fresh is certainly the best way to go. Basil and oregano work well. Bacon or pancetta is traditional but consider smoked salmon or shrimp as a twist. For a slightly healthier version, use half and half instead of full cream, but it won’t be quite as smooth and well, creamy. It’s your pasta though, play around and have fun. Ingredients: 1 cup fresh herbs 1 lb. pasta 2 tsp. black pepper, ground ½ - 1 lb. thick cut or slab bacon salt to taste 3 eggs Optional: ¼ cup sweet onion or shallot, finely minced ½ cup thawed frozen peas or cooked fresh peas 2-4 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 egg yolk per serving 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup heavy or whipping cream Recipe: 1. Boil and cook pasta in salted water. 2. Meanwhile, cut bacon into ¼ inch lardoons or pieces and fry on medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Pour off excess fat from pan and sauté onion and garlic until tender but not browned. 3. Mix together eggs, cream, parmesan, salt and pepper until smooth and even. 4. Drain pasta and reserve a cup of the hot pasta water. 5. Return pasta to pot while still hot and toss and mix in the sauce along with the peas (optional) and most of the bacon and herbs.
