I’m saving this; I’m low on pasta reference material.

I was first exposed to Pici at 4 Leoni in Florence and it became my favorite pasta immediately. I can't wait to be back this winter and have some. Yum. Love this post - so many good recipes and links!

Linguine with clams, roasted garlic, hot pepper and bottarga.

Strozzapreti with Gorgonzola Dolce and toasted walnuts.

Here I was blithely reading along and bookmarking things for our trip when I saw you included me!! You sweet generous woman ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you!!

I’m actually getting ready to put a big batch (for me) of pasta boards in my next firing. I’m planning to give them their own designated sale in the next few weeks.

What a fun and delicious list, Gillian! I have to confess I've only had pasta 3 times since my ankle injury in June, once since I've been back in the U.S. And though I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure that unintentionally cutting out pasta (and alcohol) from my diet is how I lost 20 lb even while being immobile. I'm looking for a way to slowly work pasta back into my diet because I DO love it so!

I imagine it’s easier to not eat pasta in the US than here. I should maybe try your diet minus the broken ankle, though I doubt I could stick to it for long 😂

Sometimes spaghetti likes to be alone!
