Pasta Recipes From My Favorite Italian Hotels

Hello lovely readers! I’m just back from a delightfully laborious Labor Day weekend in Venice, Italy, where I was in attendance for the premiere of the excellent film, Contagion. It was just over 48 hours of jam-packed happenings and the food was sublime. You can see the full scrapbook here, but meanwhile, I asked some of my favorite Italian Hotels for recipes.

This recipe is from the Grand Canal Restaurant at the Hotel Monaco. I’m eating the Fritto here, which was followed by this insane pasta.

I loved my meal at the Terrazza Danieli so much that I asked for the recipes. They’re a bit complicated (N2O anyone?) but they’re easy to adjust. I love knowing how they make spaghettini from scratch but you can always buy fresh pasta from your local shop, or use dry pasta from the grocery store.
