Holy Pasta - Manifesto Market Anděl, A Menu That Celebrates Pasta in All Its Glory




Jointly digs through various sources for just how many pasta shapes come in existence, it quickly becomes clear that the number could easily rank close to 1,000 when different cultures with variations incorporating enriched flour, rice, gluten-free ingredients, wheat grains, etc. are considered.

In Italy, specifically, the count sits around 350, each and every featuring unique contours, ridges, diameters and lengths-characteristics that lend themselves to specific sauce applications, all enjoyed by pasta lovers hailing from various corners of the flavor and texture spectrum.



Even more than sauce, it’s pasta that is inextricably linked to Italy. Made from simple, humble ingredients-typically flour, eggs, salt and water-the outcome is pure food alchemy. Those four components come together to spin golden bands and bits that act as the inspiration for the dizzying level of meals, carrying the load of sauces, meats, and cheeses, sometimes all at once.

How pasta first come to this culinary epicenter and it is many regions is the subject of endless debate, generally recalling the grade school lesson involving Marco Polo and his travels to the Asia. That tale states the famed explorer took noodles home to Venice from a harrowing trip to China, and the newfangled food became very popular, sweeping across Italy. This perfectly could possibly be true, but other theories posit that pasta have been around the country a long time before Polo's voyage east.

Classifying Pasta
The roughly 350 a variety of pasta might be broadly sorted into four categories:

Long: Tagliatelle, linguine, angel hair, fettuccine, capellini, etc.
Short: Cavatappi, conchiglie, festoni, farfalle, fusilli, gnocchi, etc.
Soup: Anelli, ditali, orzo, etc.
Stuffed: Cannelloni, angoletti, ravioli, tortellini, sacchetti, etc.
Some pasta shapes may be sorted into multiple categories, and variations in shapes and regional practices mean there’s lots of overlap. Really, most of these pasta shapes exist given that they elevate individual sauces and dishes with their unique textures. In Italian cooking, how an pasta supports the sauce is important. A thick, flavorful sauce wants a pasta that’s equally as robust, with deep grooves for holding the sauce. A far more delicate sauce pairs well with a thin, ribbon-like pasta.

It’s not simply texture - flavors must be considered when choosing the best pasta. A chef will forever consider what sort of sauce will “cling” to the pasta, and also the dish in general. Soup and stuffed dishes require specific varieties of pasta, however, there are numerous options in those categories.
