Sunday in Buenos Aires is reserved for homemade pasta - pasta casera - as homemade pasta is called in Buenos Aires. Many people in Buenos Aires have family who were from Italy 100 years ago. Today the Buenos Aires traveler will note all the Portenos enjoying a lovely Sunday Italian lunch with family, friends, and some famous Argentine wine.We reserve the Canernet Sauvignon for the lomo and bife de chorizo when it comes off the grill while opting for the Malbec Roble with pasta.
Below is a picture of Bucatini, a long pasta like spaghetti but with a hole that runs right through the center like a straw. The bucatini is not only a Roman favorite pasta, it is a favorite of the Portenos too. In Rome the people love to eat Bucatini all'Amatriciana and in Buenos Aires the people also enjoy Bucatini too, but with a tuco sauce - the tuco being like a pomodoro red tomato sauce.
This Sunday we are opting for Ravioli casera, homemade Ravioli rather than bucatini. Portenos love their Ravioli, gnocchi, and pastas equally so be careful getting between a Porteno and their various pasta love affairs.
As for the Malbec Roble, the roble means the wine was aged in a wooden cast rather than in a copper container as is so common today among the mass wine makers. Roble preserves the true taste of the aged grape and if harvested correctly, during the full moon, then the chemicals harmful to the body of the wine and poison to the wine drinker is naturally extracted and the grape naturally creates chemicals that preseve it unlike the pressurized copper containers in which unnatural man made chemicals must be added to create the wine.
