Spain – Fideuà

When we present an international pasta, the best example would be the superb Spanish fideo (in BG fide). The Italian name “fidelini” comes from “fideo”, which in its turn is born of the Arabian “fadas”. In other words: 3 nationalities, 3 names, 1 pasta. This type of macaroni is thin and short and is often used for soups both in our and in Spanish cuisine. Very often, however, the traditional seafood dish is also prepared – Fideuà. It’s like paella, but instead of rice, there is a vermicelli.

Argentina – Sorentinos

It is no secret that Argentine culinary culture is strongly influenced by the long-standing Italian presence in the country. If you go out in Buenos Aires, you will immediately find plenty of shops and restaurants offering fresh pasta and other temptations that are nothing to do with their European ancestors. For the world’s pasta landscape, the Argentines contribute with the Sorentinos dish, which is a large ravioli with a cheese filling and sometimes a meat.

Uruguay – Gnocchi

In the Latin American country, the presence of this type of pasta on the table is of great importance. Influenced by Italian culture, and in Uruguay, they have adopted various pastas as an important part of their culinary  tradition. However, the Gnocchi have a special place – on the 29th of each month a resident of the country must eat the potato pasta. This comes from an old Italian tradition, according to which every Sunday is a day for making tempting pasta. Today, this date is called (Día de Ñoquis), and besides the fact that this pasta is a must-eat dish at home and in restaurants, it is acceptable to leave a few banknotes or coins under each plate for prosperity.
