Such incredible skill involved in the handling. Truly a handmade cheese. . . . #cheese #sheepcheese #pecorino #abruzzo #handmade #artisanPasta skillz and tips from the wonderful @rachelaliceroddy who came over to join us from Rome. Makes it all look so incredibly easy. That’s a chitarra in the last shot which is used in the Abruzzo to cut pasta which comes out looking like thick spaghetti. 80% of Rome’s restaurants are run by Abruzzesi according to Rachel and many of the recipes regarded as Roman in fact come from the region. Fascinating stuff. #pasta #lasagna #makingpasta #cookinglessons #chitarra #fromthemountainstothesea #squarefoodfoundation #rachelroddy #atozofpasta Follow on Instagram
