IAN: Let's Talk Pasta [1]

Good morning! I hope your day will go better than that poor kidβs.
This time of year, a nice pasta salad can really hit the spot. Or if itβs cool where you are, you might prefer a mountain of spaghetti. (Why not both? π)
Recently I have learned that cooking and then cooling pasta makes its starch healthier by boosting the amount of resistant starch in the pasta. This is true whether you eat the pasta as a chilled salad or reheat it. Adam Ragusea has an excellent primer on the subject. [10:30]

Hi! Iβm Itzl!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e pepe is a dish of only three ingredients, two of which are evident at first glance to anyone familiar with Roman dialect. Cacio is Romanesco for sheepβs milk cheese. Along with pepe, or black pepper, the cheese β ideally Pecorino β unites with pasta (and a hefty dose of starchy cooking water) to form a rich, creamy sauce that is as delicious as it is difficult to perfect. www.bbc.com/...

Bucatini allβAmatriciana
A classic pasta dish from Lazio, the area around Rome, Bucatini all'Amatriciana is made with the pecorino cheese and crispy guanciale of a Carbonara , but with tomato sauce instead of egg. Eva is admittedly a little biased towards her precious tomatoes, but she'll take a good Amatriciana over a Carbonara any day. It's absolutely delicious and very easy to make! www.pastagrammar.com/...

Fusilli con Pesto Calabrese
While most people are familiar with "pesto alla Genovese," there are actually several different varieties of pesto in Italy. One of our favorites is spicy Calabrian pesto, or "pesto Calabrese." It's incredibly delicious and very easy to make! It can be used as a pasta sauce, as a dip, or spread on a sandwich as a condiment. www.pastagrammar.com/...

Have a wonderful day!
