I am a big lover of pasta! I do have my favorite pasta recipes, and the creamy sun-dried tomato pasta is definitely one of them. Why? Because it is so quick to make, and only requires a few ingredients that I usually have in the kitchen. This does not mean that I don’t like spending time in the kitchen – I can spend hours and hours waiting for the perfect ragù to be ready, and to then gently accompany my pasta to the table.
Have you ever wondered why some pasta dishes require a specific shape of pasta and not the other (fusilli, rigatoni, etc.)? It is because the shape of pasta matters! Do not ever tell any Italian that this makes few sense! They will explain to you all the logics behind: the shape of pasta shapes your dinner experience! I know, I know… I was thinking the same until I moved to Italy. Funny to say, but I unconsciously accepted this and I now go for the right shape of pasta.
What is your relationship with pasta? How often fo you make it? Do you always respect the type of pasta the recipe asks, or this seems meaningless to you? Let me know your thoughts, I am interested to know your habits 🙂
