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




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

In Italy, specifically, the count sits around 350, with each and every featuring unique contours, ridges, diameters and lengths-characteristics that lend themselves to a particular 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's inextricably linked to Italy. Created from simple, humble ingredients-typically flour, eggs, salt and water-the final result is pure food alchemy. Those four components combined efforts to spin golden bands and bits that act as the foundation to get a dizzying volume of meals, carrying the weight of sauces, meats, and cheeses, sometimes all at once.

How pasta first come to this culinary epicenter and its particular many regions could be the subject of endless debate, with many recalling the elementary school lesson involving Marco Polo and his travels on the Far East. That tale states the famed explorer took noodles back home to Venice after having a harrowing day at China, along with the newfangled food became increasingly popular, sweeping across Italy. This very well may be true, but other theories posit that pasta ended up around the country some time before Polo's voyage east.

Classifying Pasta
The roughly 350 several types of pasta may 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 can be sorted into multiple categories, and variations in shapes and regional practices mean there’s lots of overlap. Really, many of these pasta shapes exist simply because they elevate individual sauces and dishes using unique textures. In Italian cooking, that the pasta props up sauce is crucial. A thick, flavorful sauce wants a pasta that’s in the same way robust, with deep grooves for holding the sauce. A more delicate sauce pairs well with a thin, ribbon-like pasta.

It’s not just texture - flavors should be considered in choosing the correct pasta. A chef will forever consider the way a sauce will “cling” to the pasta, plus the dish as a whole. Soup and stuffed dishes require specific forms of pasta, but again, there are several options in those categories.
