Went for a top-up shop this evening in Tesco and found this offer. Other types on offer, but not fussili, which is my favourite

Only pasta that I have used in the last 20 years since working with Italians.

Great for cooking in bulk and freezing- other pasta tends to go gloopy if you do this.

Being born and bred in the UK I eat any pasta as long as I have chips on the same plate :wink:

Good pasta, they used this in an Italian restaurant I worked in. I get Garofalo from Costco which is also good.

Shouldn't even a half decent Italian restaurant be making it themselves not chucking packet stuff in a pot? :confused:
Feel free to name and shame them.

I REALLY dislike home made pasta, unless it's gnocchi. I much prefer dried as a lot of people do. A lot of "good" Italian restaurants used dried pasta.

That's a shame. I suppose it cheapens them to the point of Burger King claiming to have "flame-grilled burgers" when in fact they microwave them and only finish them off over a bit of gas.

Why does it? As long as the restaurant doesn't claim to have home made pasta, or even insinuate it, like Burger King, it's nothing like it. You can always ask in a restaurant if it's home made fusilli or shells you're getting ...

I'd just assume. If you're going to a place that serves primarily pasta as it's entire business I'd expect them to make their own pasta. Just as I don't expect to go into even the cheapest pizza place and expect to see them unwrapping a shipped in pizza base and chucking some toppings on.

Not in my experience no, and dried pasta is superior in my opinion.

Heat (lovely al dente). No love for Pezzullo?

probably shouldn't assume then. home made pizza base is more common and accepted than home made pasta.

Pasta shapes are a great way to learn Italian. Next time I need to ask for ribbons or snails then I'll be fluent.

Just make sure you get your pronunciation right when you ask for "Penne" or you will get quite the surprise.

What makes you assume the process of drying doesn't improve a pasta? Hardly the same as your other examples where unhealthy additives,fats etc. are added to the foodstuffs.
