During my EVS I\u2019ve had several experiences with locals, but also with other volunteers that deal with pasta and unfortunately for them I am Italian, so from time to time I\u2019ve got to say that I\u2019ve seen things that you humans cannot imagine, for quoting the famous blade runner.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the name: here is called macaroni <\/em>but normally we define maccheroni <\/em>only 1 specific variety of pasta, which is the most notorious and simple by the way, the one that is tubular and with a hole inside, nothing more and nothing less.<\/p>\n On the other hand I\u2019ve had to admit that the origin of the terms is pretty fun, according to Giovanni alessio the possible derivation are two: one is \u201c\u03bc\u03b1\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03af\u03b1 machar\u00eda<\/em>\u201d <\/em>from the ancient greek that could be roughly translated in \u201choly barley soup\u201d and I had to say it that I can totally agree on the use of holy\u2026but barley soup?!these Greeks\u2026<\/p>\n The second possible origin is \u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 makar<\/em>\u1e53<\/em>nia, <\/em>it come from the east Tracia from Giacomo di<\/p>\n Bulgaria in the XIII century and the translation is even more funnier cause it literally mean \u201cFuneral dishes\u201d, clearly in the past they had serious problem with this delicious meal<\/p>\n But moving forward here it is for you a very simple list of what NOT to do, or to be more realistic a list of what not to do when there is some Italian nearby.<\/p>\n 1) Do NOT put the pasta before the water is boiling<\/p>\n 2) Do NOT put the sauce together with the pasta while it\u2019s boiling, not before, not during, exclusively<\/p>\n after that the pasta is ready<\/p>\n 3) Do NOT boil the pasta in the pan<\/p>\n 4) Do NOT do it, I\u2019m serious<\/p>\n 5) Do NOT put liutenitza as a sauce, or do it like I do but be sure that there is no Italian nearby, the<\/p>\n mafia is still very strong and they do not forgive<\/p>\n 6) Do NOT put milk or make it sweet, actually Is the same like the previous point, you can do it but be<\/p>\n careful<\/p>\n 7) Do NOT think that is hard to cook, even I that I can barely prepare something without burning I can<\/p>\n do it so for sure you can too!<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s eat!<\/p>\n \n This publication has been produced with the assistance of the Erasmus + Programme of the European Union.
