Say that’s no’more to this culinary faux pas.
People around the globe who take pride in their bolognese recipes are predisposed to a glaring rookie mistake, professional chefs warn.
It’s a cardinal sin to serve the meaty mixture along with spaghetti, warned influential late chef Antonio Carluccio, who added in a recipe that it cannot “be genuine” if served with the tubular pasta.
“Many of you might have just learned you’ve been using [spaghetti] wrong your entire lives,” Chef Sophie Nahmad of the meal kit company Gousto said.
Thank goodness there’s an easy fix, according to, well, every Italian — use thick, hearty tagliatelle.
“Fresh tagliatelle is delicious and oh so satisfying to twirl onto your fork when you’re tucking into your dinner,” Nahmad told the Daily Express.
“Due to the wider shape, it’s a great pasta to pair with a thick, meat-based sauce,” she said
Nahmad continued, saying that “any meat-based ragu-style sauce will pair well with this type of pasta.”
The thinner pastas are best saved for lighter sauces, she said.
“So maybe it’s time to switch up your dinner time traditions and try something new. It might turn into a fresh staple that the whole family will love.”
Arguing over tradition isn’t new to the Italian food discussion.
A London restaurant was only recently prepared to go to war with customers demanding a non-authentic cream sauce in a Carbonara dish.
