The following articles are from our fansdVermouthof! We welcome everyone to continue enthusiasticallyPost唷 ～

I traveled a few days ago and found it sad that my English came back to seeDo not understandLevel, so I have this post on how to order Pasta, but later I found out that I did n’t understand the menu, but luck exploded to most of the restaurants we went to, basically used directlyItalian GrammarWrite menu.

However, as the originator of Western food, Italy is the most cooking nation in the world. In addition to pizza, pasta is another food that is easily accepted by us and accepted by most people in the world. Moreover, the type of noodles should be Can compete with China. In fact, there are many similarities between the two countries.

First of all, remember when learning English,SpaghettiSay it's pasta. . . In fact, this word is just a kind of noodles. It looks similar to that used in domestic restaurants.fine.long.circle. In fact, many western restaurants do not have the word Spaghetti (I do n’t know why, I rarely see it, but in general Bolognese, Seafood pasta will use spaghetti, probably because the tradition is also regarded as an old name in noodles.)

In vermicelli, you can often see that,CapelliniThis is better than Spaghetti Longer.thinner, Taste will be moresoftIt looks like noodles for dandan noodles.

Angel Hair The appearance rate is also relatively high. If you like chewy noodles, don't order it. It is thinner and longer than Capellini, and a bit thicker than fans. The degree of lingering is similar to that of fans, but because it is made of wheat, it has a good taste. Compared with fans made of cassava, there is no trace of chewing, it is more like swollen noodles. I have clicked this for the first time and the only time. It is in a cheesecakefactory with red sauce and shrimp, not like very much.

Linguine (ling gui ni) TooFine noodleUnlike the first three, it isflatActually, it is made by squashing Spaghetti. It looks like noodles. I think it's similar to the noodles used in domestic soup noodles. In terms of texture, the noodles themselves won't have the same chewiness as spaghetti, but they won't look like Angel Hair Very pink. I think this is the reason, it can perfectly match different sauces like Tomato sauce, Cream Sause or Garlic and white wine sauce.

Compared to fine noodles, I still tend toWide noodle, The most common isFettuccine(Vatti qhi you), moderate length, width0.8-1.5cmRight and left, Fettuccine Alfredo is the most traditional creamy noodle, with shrimp, chicken, and scallops.

Sometimes can see TagliatelleI checked the information, but the names of the same noodles in different parts of Italy are different. F comes from the center of Italy, and T originates from the north of Italy. There is no big difference between Fettuccine and its appearance.

The other isPappardelleThis one is wider than Fettuccine.1.5-2cmLeft and right, it will taste better than FettuccinetenacitySome, the first time I ordered this, it seemed to me that it looked like a wide noodle in a large dish of chicken. Some restaurants have small wavy laces and are short, while others are long, wide and wide without laces. Mushroom pappardelle is suitable for chicken or straps.

(Celestino on the left, 141 South Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101, Yelp is not high, but the Open Table has a good rating. There is a menu on this side, because at the beginning the waiter said a special. I listened to the white sauce. I did n’t. When I think of Italian ham, I may see my awkward expression, the service is good, and directly asked me what I want to eat, so I have this, and there is also on his menuBeetroot Risotto, The whole plate红色And the combination of white and blackshellPasta can be regarded as a very delicious dish.

In general, thin noodles like Spaghetti, Linguine, or Angel Hair, are more suitable for light sauces because they are rolled up in large quantities, becauseWhite sauce made from cream(Alfredo, Carbonara, Cream sauce,) With a mouthful, the mouthful of sauce feels refreshing, but it can cause a few mouthfuls to get too tired.

So red sauces flavoured with tomatoes, or made with basil olive oilGreen sauceWill use vermicelli to match, such as traditionalBolognese (Refers to meat sauces), Veal meatballs.

And similar toPappardelle, FettuccineThis kind of long and wide noodles can not be packaged in the form of noodles like Spaghetti, and it is different from small fancy noodles like Farfalle, Orecchiette, and it is not easy to make dry noodles. Therefore, the lasagna in general restaurants is oftenfreshEasy, fresh noodlesAbsorb sauce, Best with white sauce. For example, the classic Chicken Afredo, Mushroom Pappardelle.

Later, in order to write this knowledge post, I went to several Italian restaurants after returning to LA and realized thatOrdering tips, The menu has been looking for a long time and will not point to your favorite, just think about what you like to eat, tell the waiter, waitWaiter recommendedAnd tell you directly what they have. The following is a reasonable combination of various noodles.

Tips: 

If you want to eat red meat...

Optional: Tomato/Meat Sause with Spaghetti/Linguine/Angel Hair
Bolognese (meat) / Veal-XXX (basic iscalfMade XXX) / Sausage (There are too many types of Italian ham and sausage, they are not distinguished, they are all made of pork, because they do not eat, so they are not concerned. In some places, ham is paired with white sauce, I do n’t know how it tastes) 

(Picture from Youtube)

If you want to eat seafood...

Optional: Seafood pasta Mussel, Shrimp, Salmon, Scallop will match directlylightlyRed sauce, because the protagonist is seafood, not sauce. Generally speaking, if it is shellfish, red sauce is used. The degree of deliciousness depends on the restaurant itself and the price.

But if it isShrimpPersonally, I think it can be used with red sauce and white sauce.ScallopThis one, if it ’s a big, big strip, the red sauce and white sauce are all embellished. If it is small, it is paired with white sauce and wide noodles. Personally, the red sauce is not delicious without a lot of meat.

If you want to eat vegetables...

Be sure to try Zucchini, Mushroom with Garlic and Wine Sauce or Alfredo. Choose wide noodles. This main combination is classic and delicious. Most restaurants do well. If you want to eat meat, add chicken, andMushrooms and shrimpGood partner too!

(Mangia-Mangia, 16079 Goldenwest St, Huntington Beach, CA92647, brother is especially handsome, family restaurant, small but high standard, dessert tiramisu is surprisingly delicious)

In addition, the colored noodles that have risen in recent years, the Venetian invented this "black" cuisine as early as the 14th century, usingCuttlefish juiceThe black noodles made with such natural stains, such as Squid Ink Pasta, are usually mixed with white sauce, and then served with shrimp shrimp, scallop, and seafood pasta.

There is also a common colored surface for matchingGreen sauce, JoinedSpinach juiceMade noodles orRavioli (Bagini). I personally feel that noodles can only be evaluated by taste, adding a few drops of natural stains, but only adding to the fun and taste of the entire dishFace valueThe taste is not very different from the pasta, but it can be a surprise to order. 

(Picture comes to the network) 

(Osteria Mamma, 5732 Melrose Ave, LA, CA90038. His cuttlefish noodles are very famous. I think it's because the shrimp is delicious, and the classic Italian Caprese salad is very authentic and cost-effective.)
