Italian food has truly become one of the great cuisines of the world and it is no exception with the vibrant Italian community here in Australia.

We are indeed lucky to be able to embrace such passion in food culture and we are always in awe whenever we dine in a good Italian restaurant or cafe here in Sydney.

From the more hearty and traditional takes of bolognaise and carbonara, Sydneysiders are also embracing the modern elegance of more subtle flavours from such a rich Italian culture and history. We indeed have to be thankful to the passion shown by generations of Italian migrants to our shores. From “little Italy” in Leichhardt in the inner west to Paddington in the east and Neutral Bay in the north, every suburb in Sydney is dotted with its neighbourhood Italian cafe and pizzeria that dishes up hearty pasta, pizza and an entire spectrum of Italian style grilled seafood, meats and salads.

Therefore, we pay homage today to one of the classic meat and carb recipes, and indeed one of our favourites among the meat and carb equivalent of so many other culture.

We have great pleasure in presenting to you, our first main course for the competition:

As we have many friends who are of Italian heritage, we sincerely hope our interpretation can live up to the expectations of this iconic dish of the world.

This is truly one of our all time favourites pasta recipes despite it being an old classic. Like they say, it’s a classic and it’s here to stay!

    Very nice! I always like to style my pasta and now this cone can bring them to the next level. Italian cuisine is definitely embraced internationally, even everyone seems to take a different twist towards it. Ours have chili sauce in them. Lots of it.

      Hi Jun,

      We love marinating birds’ eye chillies in EVOO with some good sea salt flakes and they are awesome with pastas!

  5. Looks tasty! I wonder if you could balance a meatball on top of that… (just don’t sneeze 😉 )

    This one is totally unexpected and totally wonderful! I am really having so much fun looking at the cone shape changing like in a kaleidoscope. Different colours, flavours, ethnic cuisines, aromas… Only the shape stays the same.

  11. babe_kl says:

    Gosh the fusilli really looked so pretty. I wonder if the tri-coloured ones would turned out looking prettier

  12. Cheah says:

    Definitely I like savory dishes/food served in a pyramid (using a mould originally developed for sweet jellies!)

    Awesome presentation.
