A Fresh Take on Fresh Pasta!

Fresh pasta has been a staple of Paladar menus since the beginning. Typically we feature a stuffed ravioli dish toward the beginning of the meal. We love experimenting with meat, seasonal vegetables, and cheeses; we often land on creations including a little of each. For our March 26th menu we are trying something new - Bucatini! This is a think (~3mm), spaghetti-like pasta with a hole running down the center; "Buco" is the Italian word for "hole". We love this hearty pasta for its ability to hold-up to bold sauces and for its appealing look. Attendees of our next event can look forward to a brand new menu item featuring this pasta along with a traditional roasted tomato and garlic sauce, Italian cheese, and touch of guanciale.
