Tastes of BOBBIO

Bobbio’s signature dish, maccheroni alla bobbiese, is probably not the easiest place to start our tour of this small town’s cucina, but it will give you an indication of just how seriously they take their food here. The sugo, the sauce, takes patience, but no great skill. The pasta, however, has to be fresh – and formed by hand, using nothing but an ago da calza, a knitting needle. Do you have one of those in your kitchen drawer?

Have a look, because we might come back to that another time. But for now we will content ourselves with less arduous aspects of la cucina bobbiese.
