Know your pasta!

What kind of pasta is on my plate?
What kind of pasta is on your plate? by Charming Italy

Earlier this week, CharmingItaly.com shared a fun infographic chart to help you learn about the 100s of different types of pasta shapes in Italy. It’s really charming, and made me laugh quite a few times as I worked my way through it! This is just what you’ll need for the next time you’re left stumped about what kind of pasta is on your plate. (Click on the image to view the full size.) Have a fun and pasta-filled weekend!

    I enjoyed that chart, too! Too bad there aren’t so many choices in gluten-free pastas.

      Ciao Saretta! Hopefully, it won’t belong before you can find a better selection fo gluten free pasta shapes. Before coming to Italy, I didn’t really “get” the need for all the different shapes. But when you start eating and cooking the dishes here … it really does make a difference!

    Saw this a couple weeks ago and thought it was really fun. Today, my husband and I were trying to figure out what kind of pasta Lidia used for a dish and I immediately remembered your post. I showed it to Mr. Tonks who demanded, “Save it! Save it to the hard drive! We need this!” Thanks to you I’ll be channeling my inner Lidia Bastianich for dinner tonight. 🙂

Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
