One of the most-ordered and popular dishes worldwide, it’s really no wonder that pasta is loved by so many! Because of its versatility, there’s quite literally a pasta dish for everyone out there: from lasagne, tagliatelle to ravioli and gnocchi. But… in case you needed even more reasons to love pasta, Hugo Chetcuti and his team of expert chefs have come up with another 5!
1. The pasta shape options are endless
Garganelli, papardelle, ravioli, tortellini or even canelloni embrace copious, rich fillings and SO much more! Enjoy an endless list of possibilities for brunch, lunch or dinner, that will certainly tempt you. So, whether you’d like to go for the classic pasta dishes, such as Tagliatelle Carbonara, or Nero di Sepia or something more adventurous like Pappardelle Asian – it’s really your call.
2. There are more pasta recipes than days in a year!
If you wanted to, you could make a different pasta dish every single day of the year without ever repeating an item… actually, you could go even longer than that! From a hearty and robust meat sauce or a delicate white wine sauce. Fungi Porcini sauce? Yes, please! Or how about a rich and creamy Carbonara to dress your pasta? Simply YUM!
3. It makes you less ‘hangry’
It’s filling, which means it can curb your desire for food for quite a while, making you less likely to get snippy or grumpy — you know, ‘hangry.’ Try our Garganelli Boscaiola with juicy chicken and veal meatballs and vegetables, topped with cream, parmesan and crunchy bacon.
4. It’s part of a good diet
Pasta is made from wheat grain, which is an ingredient found in the basic food groups for a healthy, balanced diet. What’s more, it can be complemented by sauces which include vegetables, nuts, fish, meat and poultry.
It’s also low in sodium and if you choose the whole-wheat variety, coupled with a simple sauce, you can enjoy a nice portion of food that’ll satisfy your appetite without sending you on a guilt trip. Sure, pasta tends to get a bad rap for being fatty, but the key is in using whole grain topped with a non-creamy sauce and not being heavy-handed with the cheese.
5. Pasta’s the perfect crowd pleaser
Well of course it is! Do you want to plan a friends’ get together or family reunion? Our menu has a healthy selection of pasta dishes with a variety of sauces, be they traditional or gourmet. Each variety will surely be loved and devoured in equal proportions by everyone.
What’s life without a hearty plate of pasta? Well, to us, it’s a life of not experiencing the culinary world to the full! Like a true Mediterranean man himself, Hugo Chetcuti simply loves to indulge in a good plate of pasta, so it’s really no wonder why he dedicated an entire restaurant on one of his favourite foods of all time!
