We associate Pasta with Italy. But the dish has travelled all over the world, including Peru. Tallarines verdes is a version found in that country. A city eatery has made it available here. “This green pesto is tossed with spaghetti and usually served as a side,” shared executive chef Sushil Multani.

Sage advice
Sage is a herb that’s not easily available in this country. But a restaurant in Juhu uses it in a sauce used for a ravioli. The dish is called ravioli spinaci e bietola and has a sage-butter sauce that adds oomph to the flavour.

Two different
Arrabbiata is traditionally a pasta dish with a tomato-based sauce that is opposite in flavour profile to aglio olio, which is a humble pasta made of garlic, olive oil and chilli flakes. This eatery does a different variation of both, where the arrabbiata is based on carrots and the pasta for the aglio olio is made of zucchini, which is why the dish is named called zoodles aglio olio. Dig in for alternative takes on two age-old recipes.
