There is a reason why pasta is loved in so many countries around the world 🍝🌍 It never reaches every table in exactly the same way, each culture welcomes it through local ingredients, family recipes, everyday habits and moments to share. It can keep the iconic taste of Carbonara in Italy, bring Mediterranean flavours across the Atlantic with Squid Ink Linguine with Shrimp, a dish appreciated in US states such as Illinois, Maryland and New York, bring the aroma of fresh herbs through Rigatti with pesto in Argentina or become comfort food in German kitchens with Schinkennudeln. It can take on the bold flavours of Mexico with Codito a la Poblana, enter Russian traditions through Pelmeni, evoke the Mediterranean conviviality of Fideuà in Spain or even surprise in a sweet version, such as Vermicelli Dessert in Türkiye.
