Types: There are numerous types of pasta; some of the most popular are
spaghetti, farfalle, fettuccine, penne, rotini and tortellini.
Colors: The most common pasta is a neutral, almost white color made with egg and flour; however pasta can come in green (made with spinach), red (made with sun dried tomato), and even black (made with squid ink). Each can be used individually or mixed together for a tricolore. Preparation: Cooking pasta is simple, but it does require attention. In a large pot of water add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, making sure the water continues to boil. Stir occasionally to cook evenly. Add a touch of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking. Taste for doneness. Italians cook pasta “al dente” – soft in the outside and firm on the inside. Cooking time depends on the size of the pasta; consult the package for directions. When the pasta is ready, drain and serve with any delicious sauce. Recipe suggestions: Create a delicious walnut sauce. Scald 18 peeled walnuts and remove the skin. In a food processor, combine the walnuts with 3 ½ tablespoons of pine nuts, a clove of garlic and 1 cup of heavy cream. Warm the sauce on low heat, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pasta, Parmesan cheese and a drizzle or extra virgin olive oil.

Our series of pasta dishes are designed by artists of Raul de Bernarda and Sons in Portugal.
Bernarda was the first earthenware company to manufacture ceramics in the region of Alcobaça in 1875. Over the years, the company has developed a unique style and a school of artists that made this region an important ceramic production center. Each RB item is a life testimony - from the 19th century rural landscapes to the most colourful nature elements…- birds and fishes, fruits and flowers which have inspired those who have been painting them according to their own taste and feelings, throughout the 20th century.
One RB article is not only a piece of clay, but a piece of nature full of emotion.

Traditional Italian risottos made with Arborio rice; which takes its name from a town in the Po Valley, where it is grown. Cooked, the rounded grains are firm and creamy due to the high starch content. For an authentic risotto: melt a pad of butter in a sauce pan and add the risotto mix. Toast over low heat, stirring constantly for a minute or two. Add a glass of wine and stir thoroughly until evaporated. Prepare around 2 cups of broth; add a little at a time and cook over low heat for 15 – 18 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked. Serve hot with grated parmesan cheese and a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
