    One of favourite past-times, and have always enjoyed presenting artistically plated plates or bowls or boards. I use several various tools to do so for pasta; graters, circular metal rings, tweezers and alot of studying how top chefs do so. Here are 4 fotos showing 2 various pasta dishes my dear enjoys tremendously. Just about to take the high speed train home to Barcelona from Madrid Capital, and it is a 2 hour - 20 minute trip. Until I arrive home .. Have a lovely day. |

The pix are gorgeous.
I am an honest to goodness "peasant" cook...cucina povera....I adore looking at pretty, plated, well thought out foods but in honesty, if it tastes great, good ingredients, I pile it on and dive in.

I suppose if I was going to throw a dinner party I might try to plate it attractively but since it's really just DH and me, we just dump it on the plate.

Wallycat,
Thank you for the compliment.
Since I returned home on the 9th, we have been busy as bumble bees.
However, I have returned to catch up.
Have a lovely weekend.

we had a wonderful pasta meal while vacation. it was a pesto dish with the very large round pasta swirled into a beehive shape. Delicious! I loved it. what I'm curious about is how do they keep it hot? when I do pasta at home... no matter how fast I work, it is not hot when it gets to the table. baked pasta stays hot for me, but even when dumped into a colander, scooped up into on-stovetop sauce, it is cool before I can run it to the table. am I overlooking some basic thing here? how do restaurants do it? the plate not noticeably hot.

Traildoggle,
Good question.
I am not a Hotel or Restaurant Chef so, on this end I cannot answer however, what I do at home is answerable.
Married to an Italian: I carefully transfer the pasta to a platter covered in aluminium foil, verses plates or bowls, keeping the pasta in "rings" for plating presenting.
Then, I delicately put the hot sauce over the pasta at the table and pass the sauce boats for additional sauce and of course remove the rings before the plating process of the plates.
Works for us !!
I would ask the local Italian restaurants what their methods are .. I am sure that they could be of assistance.
Have a healthy, successful and lovely new year 2022.

Nope, usually, I didn't use any tool or gadget to serve pasta. I just dump it directly on the plate or bowl. Because I love past so instead of wasting my time on the presentation I just start eating it  [edited by mgmt to remove link] How do you guys write pasta in your mother tongue? |
