(NC)—October 25th is World Pasta Day, a day to celebrate the global love of pasta. From macaroni and spaghetti to lasagne and penne, pasta remains one of the most loved foods in Canada and recent nutritional innovations like Catelli’s Smart pasta
with inulin make it one of the cheapest ways to get your family to eat healthy…without them even realizing it.
Since 1995, World Pasta Day has been an international celebration of pasta as a global food, one that is consumed all over the world in varying cuisines on all five continents. While every country celebrates the day individually with its own events, World Pasta Day highlights the universal love of pasta due to its great taste, one that is embraced by both children and gastronomy aficionados, and its ability to meet every dynamic and healthy lifestyle.
“Pasta is one of Canada’s favourite comfort foods and has a tradition of being honest, delicious, and satisfying,” says Chef Massimo Capra, owner of Toronto’s renowned Italian restaurants Mistura and Sopra, and one of the best Italian chefs in Canada. “Pasta is a universally loved food. There is nothing better than gathering friends and family around the dinner table and celebrating life and each other with a plate of pasta.”
This year’s celebration theme is Pasta Meals on Every Family Table and Catelli, Canada’s number one pasta manufacturer, is calling on Canadians to celebrate World Pasta Day with a Smart Pasta Family and Friends Party to help feed Canadian children in need.
“We know that Catelli pasta is a favourite for family get-togethers and now we want Canadians to celebrate this special day by hosting a Smart Pasta Family and Friends Party,” said Ms. Scicluna. “Invite your family and friends over, take a photo of your celebration and enter our contest online at www.smartpasta.ca and you could win a year’s supply of Catelli Smart pasta and everything you need to create a special Italian feast for your family. At Catelli, we really do believe it’s your pasta and we want to know how and who you share it with. This will help us continue to innovate and build on the great taste that our consumers love. And by celebrating, you’ll be helping us give back to feed Canadian children in need. Buy any Catelli product on October 24 or 25th and we’ll donate $1.00 to Canadian Feed the Children. If you enter the contest, we’ll make another donation.”
In addition to providing tips for creating the perfect family pasta party, the web site www.smartpasta.ca, provides teachers with an opportunity to register their class for a chance to win a class cooking lesson and download resources including a video on how pasta is made.
