The World Pasta Day Logo
World Pasta Day has been celebrated on October 25th since 1995. Having just returned from the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, where pasta is a staple of almost every meal, we are pining for some of the dishes we most enjoyed.
This commemorative day is organized each year by the International Pasta Organization to draw attention to pasta as a nutritious and affordable a food that can be enjoyed in more than 600 shapes and an infinite number of preparations.
Here is a sample of some of the culinary treasures we’ll most remember:
Tortelloni in a creamy red sauce at Ristorante Rodrigo
Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms at Baita
Passatelli with White Truffles at Amerigo 1934
Tortellino en Brodo at Trattoria da Gianni
Tortelloni with Butter & Sage at Trattoria Anna Maria
Gramigna with Ragu (traditional Bolognese ragu has no tomatoes) at Baita
Spinach Fettucine with Tomato & Mozarella at Giampi E Ciccio
Rigatoni with Tomato Sauce & Cheese at Corte d’Aibo
Cheese & Proscuitto at Baita
In less than a week, we are suffering from withdrawal from this wonderful comfort food. We plan to celebrate World Pasta Day this evening by having dinner with friends on Arthur Avenue, Little Italy in the Bronx. Of course, we’ll order some pasta!

October 25, 2014 at 7:47 pmI think the tagliatelle w/porcini mushrooms looks the best. But what I have here at home is leftover mushroom risotto. It will do. Nice pasta memoir.
