Noodles or Pasta?

LIKE US ON FACEBOOK


So, you’re Italian and it’s your turn to pick a restaurant to dine at, your friends suggest “Italian” why of course, you’re Italian so why would they think you eat anything other than Italian?

OK so here it goes… time to really show off, let your friends know that you know everything about Italian Cuisine, that’s right, you should because after all, you are Italian.

One thing you don’t want to do is call pasta “noodles.”  This is one huge indicator that you don’t know authentic Italian food and now your server can make shit up all night and you’ll never know.  Don’t give him/her that kind of power, you’re the Italian damn it!!! so take charge!

Mention the types of pasta by name, if you want orecchiette, Gemelli, or pappardelle, state it.  You will not only impress your friends, you may be offered a job at the restaurant.

Check out all the different shapes, names and description of all the "pasta" - I found this link and it's really interesting... Just when I thought I knew all there is to know about pasta, was I wrong!
