World of Cultures - Amaranto

Have you ever smelt food and instantly been reminded of home?

Traditional recipes are passed down through generations and coming together to eat is linked to many ritual celebrations around the world.

With our large food events cancelled, we wanted to ensure you still got a sense of the amazing food offerings available in Tāmaki Makaurau. We filmed 5 small business owners who generously prepared a meal for us to express how food connects them to their culture.

In this video Tommaso and Luisa from Amaranto talk through how they prepare and make Passatelli with Sausage and Mushrooms. Pasta is at the heart of every Italian family, so after Luisa discovered a gluten intolerance, Tommaso set his mind onto finding a pasta recipe that was gluten-free, yet tasty and with a great texture. Their recipes are a taste of family tradition with three Italian Regions influencing Tommy’s cooking: Piedmont, Marche and Campania. Give this recipe a go especially if you love pasta but are gluten intolerant.
