What We're Talking About This June

Summer is upon us (finally!), and as the temperature slowly creeps up and we exchange our puffer jackets for lighter attire, we wanted to share with you some of the things we’re looking forward to this June. From new, delicious dishes on our menu to in-real-life experiences and events, we’re so excited for what this month has to offer!

Here's 6 Things We're Looking Forward To...

 

	1. The Pasta Bar in Harrods We've just opened our first restaurant in Harrods, the famous department store in London's Knightsbridge. From a Lasagne 'Cupcake' to Spaghettoni all'Aragosta , the Pasta Evangelists restaurant combines a modern Italian menu with our signature indulgence. Curated by Pasta Evangelists Head of Food, Michelle Rodelli, who has more than 30 years' experience in luxury fine dining, the exclusive new dishes celebrate the artisan quality, flavours and traditions of authentic Italian pasta.   Visit harrods.com to book your table now.
2. Pasta Evangelists Cookbook Join Finn and Roberta as they explore Italy in 80 recipes. Travelling from Venice, in the northeastern corner of the country, all the way down to the southern islands of Sicily and Sardinia, our lovely pastaia bring you a selection of their favourite dishes from every region.  From 10 minute meals to dinner party showstoppers, Perfect Pasta at Home has everything you could wish for and more.   Pre-order your copy from Amazon, released on June 10th.
	3. Brand New: Chocolate & Hazelnut Triangoli Our fresh triangoli parcels encase a velvety filling which blends chocolate and hazelnuts and will transport you to Turin, the capital of Piedmont,  in the far north-western corner of Italy. This Alpine region is known for its premium nocciole (hazelnuts) amongst other luxury produce. Hazelnut groves stretch for many miles, with countless rows of trees laden with nutty treasures. Hazelnuts have been used in traditional cuisine for hundreds of years and are a vital component in delights such as torta di nocciole, or hazelnut cake. Cioccolato has equal stature in Piedmont, where gifted chocolatiers have been honing their craft for centuries. Indeed, in the early twentieth century Pietro Ferrero patented a divinely inspired recipe where tonda gentile (small and sweet) hazelnuts, found around Alba, were blended with cocoa to form a supremely smooth variety of chocolate. We have turned to this classic pairing in our beautiful retelling of a Piemontese culinary tradition. Fried in burro (butter) and topped with a sprinkling of hazelnuts, this glorious dish may well have been sent by Edesia - the Roman goddess of feasting - herself.   Available to order from June 14th. Browse our menu now.
4. National Picnic Week  We love any excuse to dine al fresco when the sun is shining, and we can think of few better occasions to dig out our picnic baskets than National Picnic Week. Grab a brightly coloured rug, pack up some pasta in your favourite Tupperware and pop open a bottle of fizz in the park this June! Check out our special edition pasta salads, which will feature on our menu this month, and upgrade your al fresco experience with an Italian picnic to remember! Plus, look out for a special complimentary treat from us...   Browse our menu.
	5. Pasta School London Our limited edition Pasta School series is led by our lovely Head Chef, Roberta d’Elia, who cannot wait to meet you and share with you her secrets to creating perfect pasta! Roberta will guide you through the basics, from creating the fresh dough from scratch to delicately forming both simple and more complex shapes, before advancing on to crafting delightful fillings for pasta ripiena, and making some classic pasta sauces. Located at our Central London pasta premises, our intimate in-person masterclasses include a luxury antipasti tasting on arrival, with unlimited Prosecco Valdobbiadene available to enjoy throughout your session!   Book your place at our Pasta School now!
6. Festa della Republica This national festival is celebrated every year on June 2nd, the anniversary of the founding of the Italian Republic. The biggest celebrations take place in Rome where the festivities kick off with a parade along Via dei Fori Imperiali. This is followed by a dramatic flyover by the Frecce Tricolori, the aerobatics segment of the Italian airforce, leaving behind them a smoking trail of green, white and red, the colours of the national flag.   Up and down the country people enjoy the national holiday and good food and wine are in abundance! Why not celebrate yourself with a pasta feast?   Browse our menu.
