Kapanlagi.com - Spending a lot of time at home gives you the opportunity to have a new hobby, including cooking. In addition to saving money by ordering food through online motorcycle taxis, honing your culinary skills can also be a capital for starting a business. One of the foods that is easy to make with a variety of delicious flavors is pasta.

It turns out that there are 500 shapes of pasta in its home country, Italy. But this time, let's explore some pasta that are similar but different and often found in Indonesia.

Angel Hair

Considered similar to golden hair strands like angels, this pasta is better known as Angel Hair. To bring Little Italy in Style, this pasta, also called Capellini, can be served with simple marinara sauce or light milk-based sauce.

Just make sure to master the cooking tricks, so it doesn't get overcooked and become too mushy and easily break apart. While waiting for the water to boil, heat the marinara sauce and olive oil on medium heat. Cook the angel hair in boiling water that has been salted for 2 minutes. Directly pull the pasta directly from the water and add it directly to the pasta-filled face. Serve while warm and garnish with parmesan cheese.

Bucatini

Derived from the word buco which means hole in Italian, this pasta is still traditionally made in Rome. Suitable for almost all types of sauces, this pasta, which is shaped like a straw, becomes the main ingredient of the typical Bucatini all'Amatriciana dish, which is made with spicy pork and tomato sauce.

It takes 8-12 minutes to cook Bucatini, but most people cook it al dente with a shorter cooking time. If choosing fresh pasta, use cream or milk-based sauces such as Alfredo or carbonara. Meanwhile, dried or instant pasta is recommended to be used with meat-based sauces with a thicker texture.

Fettuccine

Unlike the previous pasta, fettuccine is known as a thicker pasta. It means little ribbons in Italian. It is said to be one of the oldest types of pasta, and its making is similar to egg noodles. Thanks to its thick texture, this pasta is suitable to be paired with alfredo cream sauce.

If you want to try Little Italy in Style, you can make a mixture of cream, butter, cheese, and black pepper. It can be served plain or with chicken or shrimp. Another delicious recipe is fettuccine carbonara made with bacon, cream, eggs, parsley, cheese, and black pepper. Super yummy and easy!

Spaghetti

Spaghetti is one of the most famous types of pasta and a favorite among culinary enthusiasts. It is usually in the form of thin strands. Originating from Napoli, there are various ways to cook spaghetti, from carbonara, meatball sauce, Bolognese, oglio olio, to the viral spaghetti brulee with a burst of savory cheese flavor.

It's not difficult to bring the atmosphere of Little Italy in Style, because now there are various ready-to-use spaghetti sauces. Just boil the pasta until al dente, then mix it with instant sauce for a practical and delicious menu.
