A staple food for ages now, pasta recipes have evolved overtime. But today, we present 4 classic Italian recipes, that you will fall in love with, because honestly, it is that fabulous.
One of the most loved pasta dishes from the Liguria region, Trofie al Pesto is prepared using just 2 elements - trofie + pesto. To enjoy the authentic taste, we recommend you to go ahead and prepare some fresh pesto at home. All you need is fresh basil, EVO oil, pine nuts, salt, cheese & garlic and you are set. Once you try this, you wouldn't want to have it any other way!
A perfect Italian pasta recipe that is creamy, easy, and just outright delicious! Invented by Alfredo Di Lelio, Fettuccine Alfredo is a dish that has gradually gained popularity worldwide. Traditionally, this dish is prepared using just 3 ingredients - fettuccine + butter + Parmagiano Reggiano. Today, this classic dish is made using heavy cream + parsley to add some extra flavour, but we always prefer the original recipe.
For all you meat lovers, Spaghetti Bolognese is here! Even though not an authentic Bolognese dish, it is quite well known in the city of Bologna and all over Italy. Prepared using a slow-cooked meat sauce called Ragu, the taste of Spaghetti Bolognese is unmatchable. This one needs a little more time (due to the slow-cooked sauce) compared to other pasta recipes but the result is definitely worth your patience!
A classic dish from Rome, Pasta all'Arrabbiata is loved and enjoyed all over Italy. This amazing recipe is made using just tomato + garlic + dried red chili and of course pasta. Arrabbitata translates to ‘angry’ and we believe the name is a nod to the fantastic spiced-up flavour. Effortless to prepare, a definite must-try for someone with a hot tooth!
