Search Results - Spaghetti

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Spaghetti is a long, thin, cylindrical pasta of Italian origin.[1] A variety of pasta dishes are based on it, from spaghetti with cheese and pepper or garlic and oil to a spaghetti with tomato, meat, and other sauces. Spaghetti is made of semolina and water.

While some people believe that spaghetti (or even pasta in some accounts) originated in China (where long thin noodles have a lengthy history), some now assert that the reading of a lost Marco Polo manuscript which led to this belief, was in fact an inaccurate Latin translation[citation needed]. Historically, people in Italy ate pasta in the form of gnocchi-like dumplingspasta fresca eaten as soon as it was prepared. Some rare records have shown the Wezzellian people of Albuquerti in Italy were very fond of a thinner dumpling "noodle" combined with meats in a sauce.[2][not in citation given] It has now been asserted that the Muslims who populated Southern Italy (around the 12th Century) were the first to develop the innovation of working pasta from grain into thin long forms,[3][4][5] capable of being dried out and stored for months or years prior to consumption (see Peter Robb's Midnight in Sicily pp 94-96 for details). Legend has it that Cicero, the famous Roman orator was fond of "laganum", an ancient tagliatelle.[6] The Saracens, originally from North Africa, invaded southern Italy in the 9th century and occupied Sicily for 200 years. Pasta is now associated with Italians as a whole. The popularity of pasta spread to the whole of Italy after the establishment of pasta factories in the 19th century, enabling the mass production of pasta for the Italian market.[7]

Spaghetti is cooked by boiling the pasta with salt in water until soft. The consistency or texture of spaghetti changes as it is cooked. The most popular consistency is al dente (Italian 'to the tooth'); that is, soft but with texture, sometimes even with bite in the center. Others prefer their spaghetti cooked to a softer consistency. The best dried spaghetti is made from durum wheat semolina. Inferior spaghetti is often found produced with other kinds of flour, especially outside Italy. Fresh spaghetti should be prepared with grade '00' flour.[citation needed]

There are two other variants of spaghetti that require different cooking times. Spaghettini ("thin spaghetti") takes less time (usually two minutes less) to cook to al dente form than regular spaghetti. There is also spaghettoni ("thick spaghetti") which takes longer to cook. All three types of spaghetti are larger than the other round-rod pastas (like vermicelli).

1. Raw Food: Vegetarian compared to raw
August 29, 2008

Is there a difference between vegetarian and raw food diets? A raw foodist is a vegetarian, but one who generally is not going to cook his vegetables or fruits. A vegetarian is someone who simply doesn’t eat meat, fish or poultry, but only consumes vegetables, pasta, and rice. A vegetarian might eat meatless spaghetti sauce or order onion rings in a restaurant. (Not the healthiest choice, but sometimes it’s hard to find something to eat in a restaurant if you’re vegetarian – even harder if you’re a raw foodist.) There are different categories of vegetarians, like vegans, or fruitarians, ... (read more)

5. Plus Sizes: Not Always Baby Doll
August 04, 2008

Baby doll dresses and tops are made of empire waist and looses down to the hips. It’s like a common missy wardrobe that makes one look pregnant when she is not. It’s a style that has been in the fashion world since the 60’s and 70’s and has been revived in the early 90’s. Women look attractive in baby doll dresses and tops as most of it comes in sleeveless, spaghetti straps or Sabrina sleeves.

6. Easy Ratatouille Recipe - Perfect for Summer Dinner
July 30, 2008

Ratatouille is a wonderfully versatile dish that you can easily fix in under 20 minutes if you follow my method. I was cooking ratatouille long before I moved to the south of France and discovered that it had a name. I always called it vegetarian spaghetti sauce. I'd go to the grocery store and find the freshest, tastiest looking vegetables available. When I got home I'd put two big solid pots on the stove, one filled with hot water for the pasta, and the other to cook the sauce in. I always started with onions, put them in the pot with a generous amount of olive oil (vegetarians get to d... (read more)

8. Why My Family Needed A Water Filtration System: A True Life Experience.
June 26, 2008

My family needed a My family needed a water filtration system for our home. The chlorine content that the treatment facility says is “safe” makes our drinking water taste terrible. My wife went to make spaghetti and found that yellow residue was all over the bottom of the pot. I thought she was exaggerating, but you could see the yellow dust sink to the bottom as the water heated up. She threw it out and cooked something else that night. I put off going to the store that night. It was late and I didn’t think that the need for a water filtration system was that severe. ... (read more)

9. Birmingham: Britain's ‘second city'?
June 23, 2008

When asked to think of something associated with Birmingham, most people’s first response will probably be ‘Spaghetti Junction’, otherwise known as Junction 6 of the M6 motorway. Whilst no city would particularly want a busy road interchange as its most famous landmark, it probably says more about the Birmingham of 20 or 30 years ago than it does of the city today. Indeed, as Britain’s second most populated city, Birmingham has often been referred to by its nickname - ‘the second city’. Dating as far back as the 6th century, Birmingham has a long history of settlements, starting as an ... (read more)

10. Tuscany - At the Mercato (Market Square) in Viareggio
June 23, 2008

It is my first morning back in Tuscany. Here at the market place, vendors offer bountiful catches. Viareggini love their seafood and can tell the seasons by what types are available; from the spaghetti-like Anguille Cieche’ (tiny blind baby eels) of the icy winter to the Arselle, (baby clams) gathered by combing the submerged sand in summer, these specimens come to full glory in a variety of delectable spicy dishes: Cacciucco (a fish stew), Antipasti di Mare, assorted Primi (soup, rice or pasta “first” courses) and endless, tempting entrees. As I negotiate my way among pedestrians, cycl... (read more)

March 10, 2008

It seems simple enough-paper shredders shred paper, right? Sort of. "Shred" is a sort of catchall word used to describe the mechanized pcess of destroying confidential or sensitive papers to ensure private information is not revealed to others. While all paper shredders have the same goal, they don't all achieve their objective in the same manner or with the same level of effectiveness. The two main types of paper shredders are strip-cut and cross-cut (confetti-cut). Strip-cut models are also known as straight-cut or spaghetti-cut and cut the paper into long strips about ¼ to ½ inch w... (read more)

December 14, 2007

No more white baby tee shirts with spaghetti sauce stains or black baby tee shirts sporting slobbers.

The birth of your baby is such an important time in your life and it opens up so many possibilities in the way of them trying new things, learning new things, and wearing the clothes that you choose for them. At least you get to enjoy the “dressing” aspect of your baby’s life since they can’t tell... (read more)

December 10, 2007

Would you rather...write a book and give it to someone else to sell who will take 85% of the profits Or Write a book and make 100% of the profits using the same tools to sell your book as a mainstream publisher. Broke authors can make money from traditional publishing royalties but the chances of getting rich are almost the same chances as winning a lottery. More importantly it is easier to directly target your audience as a self publisher. Main stream publishers throw spaghetti on the wall and hope something sticks.
