Three of the Best Italian Pasta Sydney
We all know that pasta is an Italian speciality, but you can still find these three favorites at one of your local Best Italian Pasta Sydney.
Here is a brief history of each of these three fantastic pasta dishes.
Tagliatelle al ragù alla Bolognese
Even though many people think that tagliatelle al ragù and ragù alla Bolognese are one and the same, which is known to the rest of the world as spaghetti Bolognese, the first two have little resemblance to the latter. The main difference is that the sauce is never served with spaghatti in Bolonga.
Instead, you will normally find the sauce served on a a bed of tagialtelle, pappardelle, or fettuccine. The rugu sauce is what makes the dish what it is, not the type of pasta that is used.
Experts consider the recipe for ragù alla Bolognese that was registered by the IAC (Italian Acadamy of Cuisine) in 1982 to be the most authentic version of this dish. You will most likely find that every Italian restaurant has their own version.
Pasta carbonara
It seems many people consider this dish to be typically Roman, but the origion is not 100% clear. The name, some say, comes from the cabonari, woodcutters and charcoal producers from the Appenine mountains just outside of Rome. It is said that they used to cook their pasta over a fire and add cheese and eggs to the dish.
Another theory is that carbonara was first invented after 1944, after the liberation of Rome, when food shortages were severe, so bad that the Allied troops were giving out powedered eggs and bacon, which the locals would mix with pasta.
The way carbonara is made these days is by tossing spaghetti with egg yolks, Pecorino Romano cheese, and cured pork jowl (guanciale). This simple dish is a favorite in Rome and other countries.
Lasagne alla Bolognese
This piatto unico (one-dish meal) is a filling and rich dish made with layers of lasagna, topped with a rich meat sauce and béchamel sauce.
Lasagne alla Bolognese is sprinkled with the king of cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano, then baked until perfectly crispy on top and tender on the inside. This oven-baked dish is a classic of the Emilia-Romagna region.
Well, there you have it mates, the top three pasta dishes that you can easily find at your Best Italian Pasta Sydney in your home town.
