    BUCATINI WITH ANCHOVIES & PANGRATTATO; PASTA E FAGOLI 50 jamiemagazine.com THROWING SHAPES We don’t want to curb your creative moves in the kitchen, but some pastas have classic sauce matches. We’ve given you a few ideas – but which shape will you choose? Recipes & styling Anna Jones Illustration Danny Allison Photography Martin Poole jamiemagazine.com 51 KNOW YOUR PASTA SPAGHETTI !7" Named after spago, meaning string, its long, thin strands are LONG made for Disney dogs and bored children to slurp. Can carry most sauces, but in Rome they eat it with cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper) or alle vongole (with clams). Its little sibling, spaghettini, is better suited to lighter sauces. LINGUINE !NOT PICTURED" Flatter than spaghetti, the name means ‘little tongues’. Said to originate from Genoa, where it’s paired with the local speciality, pesto. BUCATINI !12" Hollow and spaghetti-like, this is commonly eaten all’amatriciana. Great with wet sauces that get sucked into its tubes. TAGLIATELLE !6" Usually a fresh pasta, so its surface is porous and perfect for grabbing the beefy ragù of its homeland of Bologna. PAPPARDELLE !15" Slightly wider than tagliatelle, this substantial pasta needs serious meat sauces to stand up to its broad strands. Classic dishes are al cinghiale (wild boar) from Emilia- Romagna and alla lepre (with hare) from Tuscany. MAFALDE !9" Similar to pappardelle, but with ruffled 01 edges that are expert at trapping sloppy sauces. PENNE !13" Tubular pasta cut on an angle to resemble a quill, or pen, SHORT hence the name. Versatile enough to take anything you throw at it, except for light, oily sauces that rarely work with any short pasta.

My name is Lisa. Those who know me know that I love to cook (and to eat the results of my efforts). I often talk about unconventional ingredients and preparations, and less-known traditional food from my country, Italy. Thanks to posts by Aodh Ó Siadhail I realized that understanding the relationship between a country’s history and the geography, and the food the natives consider traditional is quite fascinating. I know so much about Italian food of today, and yet almost nothing on the food Italians used to eat even one or two centuries ago. After a tip found on an (unrelated) video, I stumbled upon Mastro Martino’s Libro de arte ​ coquinaria, published in the 15th century. This is not the best source if you want to know ​ what food would be found in a common kitchen: Mastro Martino was a famous chef, working for the most accomplished nobility of the time. Even if the book tries to be useful for everybody, it is certainly aimed at chefs working for the upper class of the time.

  • 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.

On and off premise catering . reunions . weddings . rehearsal dinners . personnel chef GarlicItalian CuisineMike’s Michael Busse grew up in a large Italian family, one of five siblings, in New Jersey. Family meals were a central part of life for the Busses; Michael learned the fundamentals of preparing food for others from his mother and knew at a very young age that he wanted to be a chef and own his own restaurant. After sharpening his skills at the Academy of Culinary Arts outside of Atlantic City and working in the industry in New Jersey, Michael and his new bride Traci took their show out West and opened Garlic Mike’s in 1994. Since then, Garlic Mike’s has become a staple of the Gunnison Valley’s robust culinary landscape. Michael develops many of the recipes and oversees the culinary team.
