World Pasta Day!

Holy shit, I almost missed this!

Some pasta "facts":

pasta existed before civilization. there is intense debate within academic circles as to which ancient homo genus first introduced pasta into our lives, but i'm firmly convinced it was denisovans.

pasta comes in many forms. no one truly knows how many, as several are lost to history and others are being invented every day with the advent of modern technology.

it has been "proven" that the pyramid of khufu, aka the great pyramid of gaza, was "constructed" entire of "pasta."

pastaic intervention successfully prevented the outbreak of all the world wars before the first world war.

while quetzalcoatl is not a being made of entirely pasta, as early 20th century historians once thought, it is true that rigatoni was his/their meal of choice.

literally every minute of every day, someone in the world is eating delicious pasta. that's pretty neat.

pasta is what happens after we die.

I usually use fettuccine for this recipe but fusilli is my favorite pasta shape so I had to do it:)

Not to gas myself up but I think I outdid myself today than I have any other time I’ve made this - I think its bc I used shittake mushrooms instead of baby bello mushrooms and it completely changed the flavors

I should be humble but I’m not going to be, 11/10❤️‍🔥

HAPPY WORLD PASTA DAY!

Probably we are all regretting the inexistence of teleportation in this moment, because we all could be in Buenos Aires on October 25, to be agreeably involved in one of the most interesting and palatable events: the World Pasta Day.

This special day was created in 1995 at the World Pasta Congress, by a large group of pasta producers: the aim is to celebrate the uncontested global importance of this food, year after year,  enhancing the healthy tradition of the Mediterranean diet, where pasta is its cornerstone. This annual event takes place in a different world location, for example: Rome (2011), Mexico City (2012), Istanbul (2013), Buenos Aires (2014).

Pasta is a huge symbol of Italy and its other symbol, the Mediterranen diet is also considered as “Intangible Heritage” by Unesco, a great prize if we also consider that this is the first traditional food practice in the world listed by Unesco.

The first official reference of pasta is estimated to be in Sicily, in 1154: thanks to them, from that moment the spread of pasta started, with a constant expansion in Italy and, gradually, in the world.

There are about 300 different sizes of pasta, which are named according the shape, for example “fusilli” (spindle), “spaghetti” (cord), “capellini” (fine hair), “conchiglie” (shells), “penne” (quills) and many, many others. Generally pasta is made by durum wheat flour but there are also new tastes and possibilities, especially for those whith celiac disease who cannot tolerate gluten: nowadays it is possible to find pasta made of whole wheat, or rice/ soy which are gluten free.

Pasta can be a very simple dish or a gorgeous and creative course. However it is, pasta is something delicious, and we all should cellebrate it for the Workd Pasta Day.

Probabilmente stiamo tutti rimpiangendo un pò la mancata creazione del teletrasporto in questo momento, cosa che ci permetterebbe di teletrasportarci a Buones Aires il 25 ottobre, per essere presenti (e forchetta-muniti) ad uno degli eventi mondiali più interessanti e all’insegna del gusto: il “World Pasta Day“.

Questa particolare giornata, ideata nel 1995 da un largo numero di produttori di pasta, ha lo scopo di celebrare l’indiscusso ruolo globale svolto da questo alimento, anno dopo anno, rafforzando inoltre il prestigio della celebre “dieta mediterranea”, di cui la pasta rappresenta uno dei punti saldi.

L’evento si svolge ogni anno in una location (mondiale) differente, per esempio a Roma (2011), Messico City (2012), Istanbul (2013), Buenos Aires (2014).

La pasta è il simbolo italiano per eccellenza, mentre la dieta mediterranea è persino stata inserita tra i “Patrimoni immateriali” dell’Unesco, un grande riconoscimento se si considera anche che si tratta della prima pratica alimentare tradizionale inserita dall’Unesco.

La prima attestazione ufficiale della pasta risale al 1154 in Sicilia: è da qui che cominciò la graduale e costante espansione dell’alimento in questione, in Italia e nel mondo.

Esistono circa 300 differenti tipi di pasta, “battezzati” a seconda della loro forma, ad esempio: fusilli (spindle), “spaghetti” (cord), “capellini” (fine hair), “conchiglie” (shells), “penne” (quills) e molti, molti altri.

In genere la pasta è costituita da farina di grano duro, ma nuove possibilità si fanno via via spazio, soprattutto per venire incontro a coloro i quali soffrano di intolleranze, come nel caso della celiachia, e risultino quindi intolleranti al glutine: oggi è possibile trovare tipologie di pasta realizzate con farina integrale, riso o soia (senza glutine).

La pasta può costituire un piatto povero, semplice, ma anche altamente elaborato e creativo. In qualunque modo si decida di mangiarlo, un buon piatto di pasta è in grado di mettere tutti d’accordo e bisognerebbe celebrarlo in un’occorrenza cosi importante come quella della Giornata mondiale della pasta.

Quanto meno sappiamo già cosa cucinare domani..

Buon appetito!

World Pasta Day

Life is too short, and I’m Italian. I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0. -  Sophia Bush

Picture this….a warm steaming pile of spaghetti in a rich red sauce, littered with seasoned sausage, black olives, and mushrooms served with crusty garlic bread on the side.

Or, perhaps the idea of a rich Chicken Fettuccine in a creamy garlic white sauce is more likely to be what blows your mind.

Pasta comes in over 600 shapes known to mankind, and their names are usually Italian words that are delightfully descriptive of their shapes. Spaghetti (‘cord’), vermicelli (‘little worms’), rotini (‘spirals’), fusilli (‘spindles’), tortellini (‘little cakes’), linguini (‘little tongues’), conchiglie (‘shells’), fettuccine (‘small ribbons’), penne (‘quills’) and capellini (‘fine hairs’) are the savory little goodies that are essential to any pantry.

While Italian food made it famous, that was actually only a gateway to pasta. Chinese Chow Mein and German Spaetzle are just a couple of the ways the world has taken pasta and fallen in love with it all over again.

And World Pasta Day is the perfect time to celebrate this love!

History of World Pasta Day

World Pasta Day was brought into existence as part of the World Pasta Congress on the 25th of October in 1995. Experts from all over the world came together to discuss the glories of the noodle, with particular emphasis on the importance of spreading knowledge of the world’s panorama of pasta. This organization uses World Pasta Day to promote the eating of pasta, along with its cultural and culinary importance.

The World Pasta Congress engages in everything from encouraging consumers to try new pasta to providing important information to institutions and promotions of this increasingly popular food. Every country is encouraged to celebrate the day in its own way while sharing the logo of the official organization and participating in the global strategy of World Pasta Day.

How to Celebrate World Pasta Day

Food days are simple and easy to celebrate, but they can come with a variety of layers as well. Look to these ideas for inspiration, then create your own ways to celebrate World Pasta Day:

Eat Pasta–and Lots of It!

One of the best ways to celebrate World Pasta Day is by preparing a favorite dish and enjoying the delicious flavors and textures that come along with that noodly goodness. There’s no better way to renew a deep appreciation for it than by wolfing down this healthy and semi-nutritious food.

Most people don’t enjoy eating pasta without any sauce, but the options for what to put on it range from the simple to the complex. Try it with a little melted butter and garlic. Cheese sauce (such as alfredo), tomato sauce (bolognese or marinara), and pesto are traditional options. But some people like to get super creative with unique flavors like butternut squash carbonara, avocado and mango sauce, or herbed white wine sauce. The options are virtually endless!

Host a World Pasta Day Party

Folks who are feeling like they want to share the day can go all out and host a World Pasta day party. This is a great way for everyone to come together to share their favorite pasta dish, or exchange recipe ideas with other guests to help the love of the noodle spread. Be sure to be prepared for one momentous night of rich and creamy carbohydrate overload. It may be that naps will be mandatory, but stomachs will most definitely be full!

For the truly daring, enhance the party by having participants only bring pasta dishes that they have never tried before. Try new noodle types, or even making your own pasta. Experiment with sauces and flavors that may be outside of the normal palate.

Try Making Homemade Pasta

Some people find it a little difficult and time-consuming, but the benefits of making fresh, homemade pasta are absolutely worth it! The easiest way to make it is by using an at-home pasta maker, which can be a little bulky to store in the kitchen but turns pasta-making into a breeze.

The recipe for pasta is fairly simple, using just a few ingredients. Basic pasta will consist of semolina wheat flour, eggs, olive oil and a bit of sea salt. Some pasta recipes don’t include eggs, while others might have a more unique flavor, such as spinach, sun-dried tomato, saffron, roasted red pepper and more.

Those who don’t have a pasta maker can certainly make it by hand, as it was done for hundreds of years in every home in Italy! It takes a little more work in the rolling, but it’s a fun, adventurous project in the kitchen. A food processor and stand mixer will help this process immensely, and a pasta drying rack is also a useful tool.

Try Something New (Or Very Old) In Pasta

This is the ideal day to get creative and experiment with different flavors and dishes. For instance, many people don’t know that Spaetzle was traditionally served with a sour sauce/gravy for Sauerbraten. It’s amazing! Imagine what else could unfold into the culinary world for those who will take World Pasta Day to broaden their horizons!

Attend World Pasta Day Events

All over the world, in various communities, people are celebrating pasta on this day. Get online or check out a local announcements board to find out which events might be happening in the area. For instance, some folks might have a pasta cook-off, while others might create a pasta festival. Those who can’t find a World Pasta Day event in their local area could certainly consider creating one! After all, it’s for the love of pasta.
