00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:08,376
Hi.
I'm John Coletta.

3
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:10,198
I'm the managing partner and
executive chef

4
00:00:10,222 --> 00:00:13,100
of Quartino Ristorante here in Chicago.

5
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,460
We're located on the corner
of Ontario and State Street.

6
00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:20,143
Today we're going to talk about how to
eat pasta by spinning it with a fork.

7
00:00:20,337 --> 00:00:22,065
Now there's two methods.

8
00:00:22,121 --> 00:00:25,080
The first method begins by just
taking the fork

9
00:00:25,104 --> 00:00:31,699
and just ever so easily
putting it onto the plate.

10
00:00:31,724 --> 00:00:36,329
OK? And as you can see,
you've completed the job.

11
00:00:36,816 --> 00:00:40,456
Now, if we want even less,
obviously take less.

12
00:00:40,481 --> 00:00:43,665
But the big piece is not
to be afraid of this.

13
00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:46,713
Anybody can do this.
My kids do this all the time.

14
00:00:47,109 --> 00:00:50,028
And as you can see,
it's easily achievable.

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,410
Another way to do it is you take a spoon
in your left hand if you're right handed

16
00:00:55,558 --> 00:01:00,816
and now you place the spaghetti onto
the fork and continue to twirl this.

17
00:01:01,127 --> 00:01:03,563
And as you can see, you've
got the same result.

18
00:01:03,874 --> 00:01:06,232
The spoon acts as guidance.
OK?

19
00:01:06,295 --> 00:01:09,914
The more seasoned pasta eater obviously

20
00:01:10,121 --> 00:01:15,440
wants to show off and wants to do
this all by his self or herself.

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,511
OK? And you can see
how simple that is. OK?

22
00:01:19,088 --> 00:01:23,160
And again, it shouldn't be intimidating.
OK?

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,075
Don't consider using a knife
by any means to cut the pasta,

24
00:01:27,099 --> 00:01:31,440
but continuing to twirl it will give
you the results you're looking for.

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,517
Should you have a challenge,
take a nice size dinner spoon

26
00:01:35,541 --> 00:01:38,440
and you can see it helps to guide you.

27
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:41,067
We'll do this.
Here we go one more time.

28
00:01:41,104 --> 00:01:44,841
So we grab some pasta and I've
just tossed this pasta today

29
00:01:44,841 --> 00:01:46,439
with some butter and cheese.

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,890
My kids love this.

31
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:50,440
This is a real simple way to do it.

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,868
And in fact, I taught my
children how to eat pasta

33
00:01:53,892 --> 00:01:55,439
and they picked it up rather simply.

34
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,390
Okay, so you got this.

35
00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:00,609
The one thing you want to make
sure is that you eat the pasta.

36
00:02:05,838 --> 00:02:08,683
Boy, that's good.

37
00:02:09,238 --> 00:02:11,238
I hope you enjoyed the video.

38
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:12,640
Again, I'm John Coletta.

39
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,632
I'm the executive chef and
managing partner here at Quartino.

40
00:02:15,657 --> 00:02:19,060
I hope you enjoyed the wonderful videos
that I've prepared for you

41
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:21,096
and I look forward
to seeing you at Quartino.

00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:29,818
