Factory-made tubular pasta spoked wheel shape pasta.

Ruote are wheels of pasta. A complex, arguably uninspired shape that was only possible with the advancement of the pasta industry’s mechanisation, it was itself inspired by mechanics. A number of pasta shapes have taken their form from the industries which shaped Italy in the early twentieth century, and were much lauded by the Fascists.

CREAMY TOMATO PENNE

servings: 2

Salt, pepper
½ lb penne
3 oz tomatoes
1 oz diced white onion
1 oz paleo mayo
1 eggs
1 ts olive oil
1 g minced garlic
⅔ cup marinara sauce
1 g chili pepper flakes

RECIPE

Saute onions and peppers in olive oil with garlic. Once they are almost cooked, set aside. Then cook your gluten free pasta according to directions.

Add the rest of the olive oil and mix well. Crack an egg into the pasta and mix gently.

Add in tomatoes, seasonings, and the rest of your onion, pepper and garlic mix.

In another small bowl, combine paleo mayo and egg yolk.

Add egg yolk and mayo mixture to the pasta. Stir gently over low to medium low heat until creamy. Just enough for the egg yolk to cook but not all the way through.

Serve pasta and add fresh basil to each bowl. Or feel free to mix a little in with the big pot.
