If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Italian food, it’s that less is more. So it came as no surprise that the winning dish at the 2018 Barilla Pasta World Championship in Milan was spaghetti pomodoro, a classic tomato sauce that’s about as simple as it gets. What starts as not much more than tomatoes and garlic — and in this case a bit of heat, as a nod to the chef’s Mexican heritage — transforms into an irresistible, downright perfect sauce.
The absolutely epic Pasta World Championship hosted 18 talented chefs from around the world, but in the end, it was Carolina Diaz (US) and Toby Wang (China) battling it out for the best-tasting pasta dish, and they both had to make spaghetti pomodoro from the same available ingredients. It was up to them to interpret a historic Italian dish in their own way, and Carolina Diaz (the first-ever female winner of Barilla’s Pasta World Championship) came out on top. “I put my heart on the plate. Thanks for receiving it,” Carolina, chef de cuisine at Terzo Piano at the Art Institute of Chicago, said to the judges.
