    ITALFOODS Pasta Guide 2015 A BRIEF HISTORY OF PASTA - IT WASN’T MARCO POLO…. Although, Marco Polo did come across some kind of soft dough filled with meat – think steamed dumplings – in his Asian travels and though that may have ultimately led to the Italian tradition of stuffed pasta such as ravioli - Mr. Polo did not bring pasta to the Italians. It was already there. It is thought that Etrusco-Romans had a layered dish in which they used a noodle made from durum wheat – the noodle was called “lagane”. Sound familiar? Historians believe this was where modern day lasagne comes from. This food, mentioned in the first century AD, was not boiled like pasta, it was cooked in an oven. Dried and subsequently boiled pasta is thought to have arrived in Sicily with the Arabs somewhere in the eighth century. In fact it was in Palermo, Sicily that a factory began to produce dried pasta for local export in the twelfth century. Initially pasta was prepared by street vendors and eaten with ones hands. It was the common mans food and was simply served sprinkled with a little cheese. Sauce did not really come into existence until tomatoes were discovered in the New World and then brought back to Italy. Even then the people feared that the tomato was a poisonous fruit because it is a member of the Nightshade family. Inevitably pasta spread throughout the Italian peninsula and Europe due to its great shelf life and portability. Naturally when Italians migrated west to the United States they brought their culinary traditions with them.

It began as a small bakery on a small, vendor road in Par- ma, Italy. Barilla is known to be associated with the Italy’s finest food.

  • GRAGNANO (NAPOLI) ’O Bbuono Tante Se Cunosce, Quanne Se Perde
    GRAGNANO (NAPOLI) ’O bbuono tante se cunosce, quanne se perde. (Il buono tanto si capisce quando si perde) Nella storia e nella comunicazione del Pastificio Garofalo il territorio ha sempre svolto un ruolo di primaria importanza. E le nostre iniziative lo confermano. Con Garofalo Firma il Cinema e i cortometraggi prodotti, raccontiamo Napoli e il suo meraviglioso mondo, con Gente del Fud riscopriamo prodotti dimenticati e valorizziamo le eccellenze agroalimentari e con la nostra pasta ricarichiamo i calciatori del Napoli negli spogliatoi dopo la partita. Quando ci è stata offerta la possibilità di acquistare e rilanciare il marchio Russo di Cicciano ci è venuto in mente tutto questo. Russo di Cicciano era un buon prodotto ad un prezzo accessibile a tutti. Quando è uscita dal mercato ce ne siamo dispiaciuti, da pastai e da campani, perchè ci sembrava che la nostra terra si fosse impoverita. Oggi, con gioia ed orgoglio, vi ripresentiamo la pasta Russo di Cicciano, abbiamo mantenuto i colori, le forme ed i formati che tutti noi ricordavamo, abbiamo creato un prodotto buono come era prima, aggiungendoci quel “pizzico” di esperienza che la nostra antica storia di pastai gragnanesi ci consente. Oggi ripresentiamo quello stesso rapporto prezzo/qualità, sperando di ridare il giusto rango a questo storico marchio campano. Pasta Russo di Cicciano è tornata. La pasta dei napoletani ora fatta a Gragnano. ’O bbuono tante se cunosce, quanne se perde. Pasta Russo è tornata. La pasta dei napoletani ora fatta a Gragnano. www.russodicicciano.it Spaghettini

  • 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.
