floppydrive Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Italianni's pasta is crap, based on my own experience and after tasting authentic Italian pasta. My Italian colleagues laugh at the name of the restaurant itself. They did not want to eat there since the name is a joke so they assumed the food is a joke as well. They were proven right when I reluctantly tried eating there.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with you! But to be frank about it, Italianni's is really American-Italian. It's not authentic Italian. Just look at the pictures on the wall - it's all about Italian immigrants to the land of milk and honey. Too bad the really good authentic Italian restaurants have begun closing down. La Taverna, Cuccina Italiana. I can still remember the taste! Multo Bene! BTW, I had an Italian guest once, and he wouldn't dare go near Cosa Nostra! bwahaha! Scared the heck out of him! He thought it was authentic Cosa Nostra di Familia Mafia! We eventually went to La Taverna, and he literally fell off his chair that we had such great Italian fare in Manila - he just came from a 3 week stay in the far-flung provinces of China and had nothing but noodle soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

gorgonite Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 When boiling pasta, some people put oil, some put salt, some both.Which is the best way? Quote Link to comment
masi Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 When boiling pasta, some people put oil, some put salt, some both.Which is the best way?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> good question... i don't put any ... i just make sure that the pasta is al dente and once it is i drain it ASAP... the extra heat in the pasta will cook it further. so to prevent that i serve and eat right away.. molto mario puts salt... but i think that would make the pasta salty and may add alittle too much salt on your sauce when it mixes... oil... i may consider this... but would rather cook it straight... hope i shed some light on this subject.

DaVincilog Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 When boiling pasta, some people put oil, some put salt, some both.Which is the best way?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> matter of personal preference. i put both. nakasanayan na lang from what my mom taught me. the salt is to make the water boil faster. the faster the water boils ensures that the pasta turns out al dente. it goes without saying that you put just enough salt without making the pasta salty. the oil is to prevent the pasta from sticking together. don't take my word for it though. this is just based from what i have learned...

macx98 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 When boiling pasta, some people put oil, some put salt, some both.Which is the best way?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> the italian way is to put olive oil after u drain the water out of the pasta noodletapos gentle mix Quote Link to comment
gorgonite Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) the italian way is to put olive oil after u drain the water out of the pasta noodletapos gentle mix<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Italian chefs (or chefs who cook Italian) normally put salt in the water. Pinoys either put oil, or salt and oil, as I've observed. But I don't see any difference in the end product. As long as you mix the al dente pasta to the sauce right after draining, you don't even have to rinse the pasta with cold water (to stop the cooking process) or mix in olive oil after draining.I normally put salt on the water because that's what the Italian chefs do. Hehe. Gaya-gaya lang yan. Edited March 11, 2005 by gorgonite Quote Link to comment
