🇮🇹 AGLIO e OLIO— Maximum Intensity!! 🇮🇹
We just got an excellent question on how to maximize the intensity of the garlic in this dish. Guess what? You can also make Aglio e Olio pasta with raw garlic and uncooked olive oil.

👉 I'll show you how that's done in this traditional recipe from the Italian island of Sardegna: https://youtu.be/ILKNM9XwhrU

This is in fact one of my favorite ways to make this recipe, and it is even faster than the cooked version. You can leave out the 'bottarga' in this dish if you like, and add instead other common Aglio e Olio add-ins like chili pepper, anchovy or top with herbed toasted breadcrumbs.

🇮🇹 Pork Ragù (Wild Boar if you dare!) with Pappardelle Pasta 🇮🇹
In this video, we watch Nonna Lulu prepare a classic Tuscan and Umbrian pasta recipe: Pappardelle al Ragù di Cinghiale ► https://youtu.be/tFRZE8-nBs0

... Traditionally made with WILD BOAR (which are abundant in Italy), Grandma turns this naturally lean and 'gamey' meat into serious comfort food. If you can't find wild boar, feel free to use pork shoulder or pork neck.

And YES, in case you are wondering, we have encountered wild boar 🐗 on the street outside the PIATTO studio 😳 It's a relatively common sight in Italy (much like encountering a deer in other parts of the world), though a bit more frightening. Boars are mostly uninterested in you unless they have little ones with them. But if they do... VIA! 😅

Let us know in the comments what you think about WILD BOAR pasta sauce!

🇮🇹 The Pasta Sauce Italians Make and Enjoy All Winter Long:
Ragù alla Bolognese 🍝
Want to make this ready-to-use sauce in big batches like I do?
All of the details in our new article: pastaaffair.substack.com/p/italian-ragu-the-pasta-…

Or, see how easy it is to make in my video recipe 👉 https://youtu.be/aVH6LQg9Wx8

Not only is Ragù alla Bolognese delicious, but it freezes wonderfully! Yes, it takes a few hours to make, but pour yourself a glass of wine, put on a good movie, stir occasionally and the time will fly. Then, you'll have the sauce gift that keeps on giving...

... as a pasta sauce for spaghetti or tagliatelle (more traditional)
.... as a lasagna filling
... as a pizza topping
