00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:08.376
Hi.
I'm John Coletta.

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.198
I'm the managing partner and
executive chef

00:00:10.222 --> 00:00:13.100
of Quartino Ristorante here in Chicago.

00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.460
We're located on the corner
of Ontario and State Street.

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.

00:00:20.337 --> 00:00:22.065
Now there's two methods.

00:00:22.121 --> 00:00:25.080
The first method begins by just
taking the fork

00:00:25.104 --> 00:00:31.699
and just ever so easily
putting it onto the plate.

00:00:31.724 --> 00:00:36.329
OK? And as you can see,
you've completed the job.

00:00:36.816 --> 00:00:40.456
Now, if we want even less,
obviously take less.

00:00:40.481 --> 00:00:43.665
But the big piece is not
to be afraid of this.

00:00:43.690 --> 00:00:46.713
Anybody can do this.
My kids do this all the time.

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:50.028
And as you can see,
it's easily achievable.

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

00:00:55.558 --> 00:01:00.816
and now you place the spaghetti onto
the fork and continue to twirl this.

00:01:01.127 --> 00:01:03.563
And as you can see, you've
got the same result.

00:01:03.874 --> 00:01:06.232
The spoon acts as guidance.
OK?

00:01:06.295 --> 00:01:09.914
The more seasoned pasta eater obviously

00:01:10.121 --> 00:01:15.440
wants to show off and wants to do
this all by his self or herself.

00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.511
OK? And you can see
how simple that is. OK?

00:01:19.088 --> 00:01:23.160
And again, it shouldn't be intimidating.
OK?

00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:27.075
Don't consider using a knife
by any means to cut the pasta,

00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:31.440
but continuing to twirl it will give
you the results you're looking for.

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:35.517
Should you have a challenge,
take a nice size dinner spoon

00:01:35.541 --> 00:01:38.440
and you can see it helps to guide you.

00:01:38.632 --> 00:01:41.067
We'll do this.
Here we go one more time.

00:01:41.104 --> 00:01:44.841
So we grab some pasta and I've
just tossed this pasta today

00:01:44.841 --> 00:01:46.439
with some butter and cheese.

00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:47.890
My kids love this.

00:01:47.890 --> 00:01:50.440
This is a real simple way to do it.

00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:53.868
And in fact, I taught my
children how to eat pasta

00:01:53.892 --> 00:01:55.439
and they picked it up rather simply.

00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.390
Okay, so you got this.

00:01:57.390 --> 00:02:00.609
The one thing you want to make
sure is that you eat the pasta.

00:02:05.838 --> 00:02:08.683
Boy, that's good.

00:02:09.238 --> 00:02:11.238
I hope you enjoyed the video.

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.640
Again, I'm John Coletta.

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:15.632
I'm the executive chef and
managing partner here at Quartino.

00:02:15.657 --> 00:02:19.060
I hope you enjoyed the wonderful videos
that I've prepared for you

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
