    Fantastic Lunch today

    I don't eat out a great deal, mostly for business and I'm not often impressed but today for lunch I had Strozzapreti alla Genovese with grilled shrimp, shaved zucchini, mint, and basil & pine nut pesto. It was perfetto!

    It looked like this, but with jumbo grilled shrimp mixed in:

This sort of review of a meal is very rare for me so I felt the need to share. Now I'm trying to find sources of this type of pasta online so I can make it for myself. If necessary, I may make it from scratch.

    I don't care for ziti that much. It's really not the same. This pasta is nothing like ziti, which is an extruded tube. The history of strazzapreti is pretty interesting however. The name 'strazzapreti' means priest strangler. It dates from a time in Italy where priests and bishops demanded food from the people (usually poor) and stuffed their faces. The people became so angry that they created a pasta that was so delicious that they hoped the priests would choke to death while scarfing it down. The texture is really different. You have to try an artisinal variety or a fresh version to understand the different mouth feel.

    Ive had that but with grilled huge sea scallops, ironically the same dish with pesto looks the same, I love white pastas, even better than with sauce or if youre a NE italian with gravy
