The Sauce That Survived Italy's War on Pasta

The Futurists tried to abolish pasta and all they got was this delicious dish.

Along with his proponents, Marinetti, who founded the Futurist movement in 1909, blamed tradition for Italy’s declining world stature. Futurists embraced technology, war, and masculinity, while decrying museums, libraries, and many other long-held Italian treasures—pasta among them.

From Bon Appetite:

In short, pasta was emasculating. And emasculation had no place in Italian Futurism, the bizarre and nationalist art movement founded by Marinetti in 1909 on the belief that Italy could never gain primacy if its feeble men were so preoccupied with history and tradition. For a strong, Futuristic Italian man to exist, Marinetti wanted anything that celebrated the country’s heritage literally destroyed—museums, libraries, even spaghetti.

Of course, there was a backlash. Demonstrations in the streets, essays in support of pasta. And even a competition to make the best sauce for a leading brand of pasta:

In 1931, La Cucina Italiana waded into the middle of this controversy when it hosted a contest, sponsored by the Italian pasta company Puritas, to determine who could make the best sauce to serve with one kilogram of Puritas maccheroni.

The winning sauce was named after...wait for it... Marinietti.

And so to the world, Gastro Obscura presents:


Marinetti Sauce
Adapted from Toscana Mia

Ingredients
  • 2 peeled potatoes
  • One thick slice of ham, diced
  • One onion, minced
  • One carrot, minced
  • One stick of celery, minced
  • Butter to taste
  • A handful of parsley leaves, chopped
  • One 10 oz can of tomato puree
  • A spoonful of capers
  • 2 oz chopped anchovies or anchovy paste
  • 3 fresh artichoke hearts, quartered and thinly sliced
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • One 500 g (17.6 oz) box of dried spaghetti alla chitarra (or other dried pasta)
  • 1/2 cup shelled green pistachios, thinly sliced
  • Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Prepare the potato water. Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until soft. Remove them from the pot and reserve the water, which will be used to thicken the sauce. The potatoes can be used for a different recipe.
  2. Set a separate pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
  3. Fry the ham in butter, then add onion, carrot, and celery until softened.
  4. Add parsley, a spoonful of tomato sauce, and a few spoonfuls of the potato water to the pan. Let the sauce reduce.
  5. Pour the sauce into a blender and add the anchovies and capers. Blend until thick and smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, adding more potato water if too dry.
  6. In a separate pan, saute the artichokes in butter and olive oil until crispy.
  7. Meanwhile, boil the pasta in the pot of salted water until al dente. Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the sauce, tossing the pasta with parmesan and extra butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and top with any remaining sauce. Garnish with the fried artichokes and sliced pistachios.

One can always tell if a person is antifa. Look for the flecks of tomato sauce on their black jacket.

Come out swinging, the public statements these clowns have made about this and him will come back to haunt the politicians who try to subpoena him, as they themselves will be participants in court proceedings. He has grounds for law suits and for fighting subpoenas based on the public statements of those who are requesting their enforcement before the courts. He is a private citizen, it could get ugly for them if they are called to testify in court. There is a reason politicians never comment on ongoing cases and this is it, why the smart professional ones are so circumspect about such things.
