Pasta, Pasta...So Many Kinds of Pasta
In Italian cuisine, there are literally hundreds of shapes and styles of pasta. Now, everyone is
familiar with tortellini (notice the spelling), which is the smallest form of this ‘pinched’, ricotta
cheese stuffed egg pasta. In the Italian language, any word that ends in ‘ini’ means that it is
small. The next size up is the tortelloni (once again, notice the spelling) – this size is used in
Carino’s Baked Cheese Tortelloni. And then there is the big daddy, the tortellacci. This size of
the shape is featured in the new Beef and Veal Tortellacci, which is running at Carino’s during
the month of February. Come and try it and let me know what you think!
Beef and Veal Tortellacci - Large pasta stuffed with Chianti-braised beef and veal, tossed with
sautéed mushrooms and a roasted red pepper pesto cream sauce.
