Madrid slow
FRESH PASTA
Married couple and founders of one of the new references of fresh pasta in the city, Javier Munoz and Florence Vicente they are responsible for ** Pastafresca **. Everything there is as careful as the selection of its points of sale in the city - Glorieta de Quevedo, San Antón Market and Las Musas -. They emulated the family business of Florencia in Argentina and traveled to Italy to speak (and prepare) properly about a product that, oddly enough, we do not know about. You just have to take a look at the menu and a world of possibilities opens up before us: Oxtail cannelloni, Guiness-style duck sorrentines, mint veal, pumpkin with amaretti, cod confit with leek and chives…
“Madrid is a city with an exorbitant gastronomic potential. People from Madrid are knowledgeable, demanding and, above all, very receptive to innovation . However, the world of pasta is very very green. We are aware of this reality”, they tell us. Two portions of pasta for less than four or six euros will lead you to say that "I only know that I know nothing" . They want to get into the weekly shopping basket of Madrid with techniques from before. "In the kitchens of our workshop, food is cooked over a very slow heat, but the slower cooking is always dedicated to the ideas of our team," explains the couple.
