Spaghetti
Spaghetti is the first word on anyone’s lips when talking about pasta. In fact, many consider it as the iconic dish of Italian cuisine. It is interesting to note how hungry Italians even use the word spaghetti when inviting others to eat – facciamo due spaghetti, in other words, let’s get a bite to eat! It is proof how much the dish plays a key role in their diet.
It is possible you only know spaghetti Bolognese. If so, then consider your Roman holiday a tasty adventure. When in Rome, you have the chance to taste multiple variations of spaghetti. Are you game to try it with brain, anchovies, and bone marrow? How about with sea urchin? Rome is the best place to indulge your spaghetti fantasies. |
