The World Cultures Club had an amazing trip to Charlie Trotter's restaurant in February, 2007. We experienced a very *interesting* type of fusion cuisine and tried MANY new and *interesting* dishes!

4. Of the following quick recipes, which one would you most like to try?
Bucatini all'Amatriciana:This zesty pancetta and tomato sauce is commonly associated with Lazio and Rome, but is actually from the town of Amatrice, which was in the Abruzzo until Mussolini redrew the maps.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara:A pancetta (or bacon)-and-egg sauce might sound odd, but it is very good.
Spaghetti alle vongole, with clams:If you plan ahead you can use live clams, and the cooking time will be about the same. Otherwise, use canned clams; the results are quite good!
Pasta alla Puttanesca:There are a number of stories about the origins of this zesty sauce, the raciest being that a Puttana, or Lady of the Evening, could cook it in the time it took her to take care of a client, and enjoy it while recovering from her exertions. Whatever, it is good.
