The dish emphasizes fresh ingredients and customizable flavor profiles, allowing diners to create their perfect pasta meal. The overall flavor depends entirely on the chosen sauce and toppings.
The pasta itself (Massa) is typically made from durum wheat semolina and provides a neutral base. Sauces range from traditional tomato-based options like Pomodoro and Bolognese, to creamy sauces like Alfredo and Carbonara, and even more Brazilian-inspired sauces. Toppings can include various cheeses (Parmesan, mozzarella, etc.), grilled chicken, shrimp, vegetables, mushrooms, pepperoni, and other protein sources, further influencing the final flavor profile.
