Perfectly timed with World Pasta Day is also the Barilla Pasta World Championships. The championships take place in Milan, Italy, and bring together 18 talented chefs from all over the world to compete in a live cooking competition for the chance to win the title of master of pasta! The Championships take place from October 24 to October 25, and this year for the second time ever, a Canadian chef is competing. Chef Angela Villalta from L’Unita Restaurant in Toronto is representing Canada at the championship, and she’ll be making a Capellini with Sea Urchin and Mussels. Once I started thinking about her dish, I started thinking about my favourite pasta dishes to eat at this time of year, and it’s how I created this recipe.
