Full of cream, sauces, and mild spices, pasta is to Italian cuisine what dal chawal is to Indian. It is quite impossible to think of an Italian feast without a warm and comfortable plate of pasta paired with wine. But the point is, pasta is one dish that isn’t liked by everyone the same way. Some like it cheesy while other may like it a bit tangy. Some prefer penne, some would go for ravioli. There are options in oil too as a lot many people like it tossed in olive oil. If you ask me, I like it with meat. And that’s all that matters to me. After a long work day, if you get me a bowl of pasta with some chunks of chicken tossed in, my day is made.
Not only is it the perfect protein fix, it also lends a juicy edge to the dish. And who minds an extra dose of that? Especially when there are so many ways to toss it in.
