If you cannot roll your spaghetti onto the fork, choose a shorter pasta. Alexander Spatari/GettyPasta basicsThe rolling of spaghetti onto a fork is not difficult. You can cut your pasta into bite-sized pieces, but you should choose “short” pastas like penne, conchiglie and tortiglioni. These are easier to eat using a fork. You should always eat pasta al dente. It’s not just a connoisseur’s rule. Overcooked pasta can be difficult to digest. Once you start eating al dente, you won’t want to change.Other notes on coffee cultureIn Italy, coffee is a serious business. It does not require many variations or…

“If you go to Italy, you must try the _______,” gushes your just-got-back-from-Italy friend. It’s not as simple as it seems. Italy has at least 35 different pasta types, 20 distinct regions, and hundreds of regional dialects. This is just the shapes of pasta, not the sauce.

I’d never recommend you order pesto in Puglia If you’re in Liguria, I recommend that you order homemade orecchiette. These dishes are not local specialties and…
