Now I am so hungry! Go to Rome in March. Can’t wait! Grazie signore ❤

[@gabrielstravels]

I am half Italian myself (from Naples) and I can easily say Carbonara is my favourite pasta of all time. Though I do love a good amatriciana as well, and pesto also goes very well on pasta too!

[@GregorBrown]

Half Italian from Naples? That's like having pasta in your DNA! Carbonara, amatriciana, and pesto - you've got the trio of pasta perfection right there.

[@gabrielstravels]

@@GregorBrown yeah lol. I currently live in the UK now and I usually cook pasta for lunch 😂

[@Nooner27]

We ate at Nannarella's in Trastevere Rome this past October. I was really looking forward to the Cacio e Pepe as I have never eaten it before and my wife ordered the Carbonara. I tried my pasta first and then she let me try her carbonara. Now, I have always favoured a red sauce or even a spicy arrabbiata sauce but this carbonara was a game changer. The tonnarelli with that rich creamy sauce and smoky guanciale was absolutely outstanding. It's been 4 weeks since I ate there and I can't stop thinking about it.

[@GregorBrown]

It sounds like Nannarella's carbonara has ruined all other pasta dishes for you! I guess once you've had a taste of that rich creamy sauce and smoky guanciale, nothing else compares. It's like the Leonardo da Vinci of carbonaras - a true masterpiece!

[@lorrainejoseph6358]

It looks delicious 😋

[@GregorBrown]

It was !

[@georginagiethoorn6543]

My favorite pasta dish is definitely the one with the ragu al cinghiale, popular in Tuscany. It's a slow cooked wild boar ragu. It's simply the best

[@GregorBrown]

You're getting me so hungry right now.

[@Cr4z33_YT]

One of the main base aka "piece of cake" pasta dish is pasta aglio e olio (pasta with garlic and oil). So easy, but so DAMN good!

[@GregorBrown]

You're making me hungry!!

[@Twogirlsabroad]

Yes OMG it’s so good!!! I was thinking about going to Italy next year but it may be London or Tokyo. But I can definitely tell you I will go back mainly for the food!!!!!

[@GregorBrown]

it sounds like you've got a real passion for culinary adventures - like me! And yes, the food is always a fantastic reason to travel. Enjoy planning your trip! 🍝✈️

[@Twogirlsabroad]

Yes I do and thank you I will.

[@nejcpilih]

i like the waiter correctd you with the sheep, goat's cheese, otherwise I was already planning to mention it 😛 as I+m in the south, I'd say pasta con ragu for us here 😅 but I do need to learn to cook other pasta as well

[@GregorBrown]

Looks like the waiter saved the day with their cheese knowledge! Who knew cheese could be such a hot topic? And hey, learning to cook different pasta dishes is a great way to expand your culinary skills. Soon you'll be impressing everyone with your pasta mastery!

[@smarttraveler2964]

[@GregorBrown]

Persol, but I forget the model name.

[@alvarotrejos1068]

Missed that fist bump 👊🏼 😂

[@herrrorschach590]

there are multiple legends about pasta alla carbonara birth, but basically the first official recognition was in 1945; a Bolognese chef had to cook after an Allies meeting near Rimini, but had very few ingredients underhand; so, while cooking pasta he took out some bacon and egg powder from US MREs, added some parmigiano/pecorino cheese and... The rest is history 😋 btw the base recipe belongs to carbonari, "char makers": eggs, pecorino cheese, guanciale, pasta or (more likely) bread crumbs all mixed up and cooked into a pan, just like a deep omelette to be portioned. 2 pieces of that in your sack, a bottle of wine and you're OK for the whole day 😉

[@Jupe367]

To me all pasta taste the same. This is why I am confuse why there is a need for different names for different shapes, ie spaghetti, penne, bowtie. Am I wrong? Are each pasta really that different that only certain types of pasta can be used for different types of dish?

[@GregorBrown]

Oh yes each pasta the shape has its own purpose and on texture and look and a dish and some hold sauces better than others for particular plates and some have their own stories in history as well

[@claudiofoiadelli8721]

ogni tipo di pasta e preparazione ha un sapore completamente differente, non conosco le tue abitudini e quale pasta mangi ma ti garantisco che per me le differenze sono enormi
