Pasta Pairings

Pasta is one of the best comfort foods, and maybe the most versatile. There are hundreds of different kinds of pasta and they all seem completely interchangeable. But don’t be deceived. Each shape is carefully created with taste, experience, and sauce in mind. Really –every little curve, loop, and ridge is so intentionally designed that it’s worth wondering just what makes each one so unique. Well, today, we have one of those people on the show with us. Dan Pashman is a food enthusiast, host and creator of The Sporkful Podcast, and the genius behind the creation of the new pasta -”cascatelli”. He’s here to tell us about his 3-year “Mission imPASTAble” quest for this culinary creation and how we can use these principles to pair the right sauce with the right pasta.
