Hi.[br]I'm John Coletta.

0:00:08.460,0:00:10.198
I'm the managing partner and[br]executive chef

0:00:10.222,0:00:13.100
of Quartino Ristorante here in Chicago.

0:00:13.100,0:00:15.460
We're located on the corner[br]of Ontario and State Street.

0:00:15.460,0:00:20.143
Today we're going to talk about how to[br]eat pasta by spinning it with a fork.

0:00:20.337,0:00:22.065
Now there's two methods.

0:00:22.121,0:00:25.080
The first method begins by just[br]taking the fork

0:00:25.104,0:00:31.699
and just ever so easily[br]putting it onto the plate.

0:00:31.724,0:00:36.329
OK? And as you can see,[br]you've completed the job.

0:00:36.816,0:00:40.456
Now, if we want even less,[br]obviously take less.

0:00:40.481,0:00:43.665
But the big piece is not[br]to be afraid of this.

0:00:43.690,0:00:46.713
Anybody can do this.[br]My kids do this all the time.

0:00:47.109,0:00:50.028
And as you can see,[br]it's easily achievable.

0:00:50.920,0:00:55.410
Another way to do it is you take a spoon[br]in your left hand if you're right handed

0:00:55.558,0:01:00.816
and now you place the spaghetti onto[br]the fork and continue to twirl this.

0:01:01.127,0:01:03.563
And as you can see, you've[br]got the same result.

0:01:03.874,0:01:06.232
The spoon acts as guidance.[br]OK?

0:01:06.295,0:01:09.914
The more seasoned pasta eater obviously

0:01:10.121,0:01:15.440
wants to show off and wants to do[br]this all by his self or herself.

0:01:15.440,0:01:18.511
OK? And you can see[br]how simple that is. OK?

0:01:19.088,0:01:23.160
And again, it shouldn't be intimidating.[br]OK?

0:01:23.440,0:01:27.075
Don't consider using a knife[br]by any means to cut the pasta,

0:01:27.099,0:01:31.440
but continuing to twirl it will give[br]you the results you're looking for.

0:01:31.440,0:01:35.517
Should you have a challenge,[br]take a nice size dinner spoon

0:01:35.541,0:01:38.440
and you can see it helps to guide you.

0:01:38.632,0:01:41.067
We'll do this.[br]Here we go one more time.

0:01:41.104,0:01:44.841
So we grab some pasta and I've[br]just tossed this pasta today

0:01:44.841,0:01:46.439
with some butter and cheese.

0:01:46.440,0:01:47.890
My kids love this.

0:01:47.890,0:01:50.440
This is a real simple way to do it.

0:01:50.440,0:01:53.868
And in fact, I taught my[br]children how to eat pasta

0:01:53.892,0:01:55.439
and they picked it up rather simply.

0:01:55.439,0:01:57.390
Okay, so you got this.

0:01:57.390,0:02:00.609
The one thing you want to make[br]sure is that you eat the pasta.

0:02:05.838,0:02:08.683
Boy, that's good.

0:02:09.238,0:02:11.238
I hope you enjoyed the video.

0:02:11.439,0:02:12.640
Again, I'm John Coletta.

0:02:12.640,0:02:15.632
I'm the executive chef and[br]managing partner here at Quartino.

0:02:15.657,0:02:19.060
I hope you enjoyed the wonderful videos[br]that I've prepared for you

0:02:19.205,0:02:21.096
and I look forward[br]to seeing you at Quartino.
