  • This is dish is called 'spaghetti alla chitarra con pallotine' in Italian. It's a speciality of Abruzzo and nonna Emilia shows us to make it with the help of her grandson Fabrizio and his wife Alessia. Together they run food tours in Abruzzo - so check out their Maple and Saffron website if you are interested.www.mapleandsaffron.com
    I am putting Emilia's recipe for this on a newsletter - which you can sign up for from the Pasta Grannies website www.pastagrannies.com - as it's quite lengthy.

    I live in Abruzzo and bought one of these chitarra devices last year. It’s the best pasta you can make, I think. Great texture and goes well with meat or fish sauces. I use it at least once a week, normally Sundays, and love it. I always make the pasta with semolina flour and eggs.

    • @robbieolive
      @robbieolive 4 года назад

      There's a couple of reasons for this: firstly, it's all about the 'cucina povera', or peasant's cooking, using only a few but very fresh ingredients that are immediately available at the time, and secondly, in a mostly mountainous region like Abruzzo, where it gets very cold for many months of the year, coming by fresh herbs are difficult, and are usually only used in the high summer season. My mother, who is from the high mountains of this region, cooks exactly along these lines.
