A staple at student kitchens around the globe?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

We used to call that Pasta Rouge in what just now realize is plain wrong. Should be Pasta Rosso

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah? Where did they come from, OP?

american invention. there's a lot of argument between whether it was created by thomas jefferson or one of his slaves. hint: it was one of his slaves

No, the earliest recorded recipe is British, but it is a recording of a recipe they had learnt in Italy.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Is your source that you made it the fuck up? The medieval book compares it to lasagne, but there's no evidence the authors went to Italy for this. If you're referring to the so-called first modern recipe, Elizabeth Raffald never went to Italy.

You're calling it sans evidence the result of a Grand Tour, which would've been centuries before its time to be recorded in the late 1300s.

thomas jefferson got the "recipe" from a french description of an italian dish

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

But it must have been cooked by an Italian, right?

Edit:

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

No, but they had been to Italy. Seriously, not a joke. The recipe is recorded as part of something the person had picked up from a grand tour.

It is neither a British nor American invention.

And the macaroni soup with sugar and cinnamon?

[–] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is a god damn crime, what you've written. A crime

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

If it's any help, I only ever had it at my nonna's and she died of old age some years ago. I've thought about seeing if I could find a recipe, but I also don't want to be banned from Italy and Italian restaurants

The spatzle top right is interesting! I guess there’s some crossover from Germany

[–] asymmetric@slrpnk.net 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes, it’s called Austria.

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Well then...G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

Or it was until 1918.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

South Tyrol is majority German-speaking.

Top tip: don't eat that squid ink pasta while wearing a white blouse. Change into a black top first. It's delicious, but a bastard to wash out.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Is that the spaghetti al nero di seppie?

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

It is. I had it in Venice though, not in the south.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

What's the matter with Fettuccine Alfredo?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 months ago
