Pasta alla Chitarra: The Sound of Abruzzo

Pasta alla Chitarra: The Sound of Abruzzo

What if you could "hear" a pasta before you taste it?

In this episode, we explore pasta alla chitarra, a traditional dish from Abruzzo made using a unique tool (chitarra = guitar) that cuts pasta with thin metal wires—creating both its signature shape and sound.

From its 19th-century origins to its role in everyday life, discover how this simple pasta reflects the deeper connection between food, tradition, and place in Italian cuisine.

Making (and of course eating) pasta alla chitarra will part of my trip to Abruzzo and Molise in July 2026! Click here if you want more info!
