If I had to choose a favourite out of these 7 Italian paccheri recipes, I guess this would be it. But then I love seafood and the tender slow-cooked octopus in this Genovese sauce is fabulous! Cavalieri was also largely responsible for introducing logarithms as a computational tool in Italy through his book Directorium Generale Uranometricum. We mentioned above that his appointment to Bologna had been initially for a 3-year period. This book of logarithms was published by Cavalieri as part of his successful application to have the position extended. The tables of logarithms which he published included logarithms of trigonometric functions for use by astronomers [ 31 ]:-

If two planar pieces are included between a pair of parallel lines, and if the lengths of the two segments cut by them on any line parallel to the including lines are always equal, then the areas of the two planar pieces are also equal. After a year in Milan, in 1616 he transferred to the Jesuati monastery in Pisa, the San Girolamo monastery, where, except for one year spent in Florence in around 1617, he remained until 1620. In Pisa, Cavalieri was taught mathematics by Benedetto Antonio Castelli, a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Pisa. Castelli had been appointed to Pisa in 1611 and had a reputation as a fine teacher, students coming from many different regions to study with him. Castelli was a Benedictine but, as there was no Benedictine monastery in Pisa, Castelli lived in the Jesuati monastery there. He taught Cavalieri geometry and introduced him to the ideas of Galileo. Cavalieri's interest in mathematics had been stimulated by Euclid's Elements and, after meeting Galileo, he considered himself a disciple of the astronomer. The meeting with Galileo was set up by Cardinal Federico Borromeo, who had corresponded with Castelli. The Cardinal himself saw clearly the genius in Cavalieri while he was at the monastery in Milan [ 12 ]:- Benedetto has been running the firm for more than 30 years, winning and reaching a great number of national and international awards. He is consolidating the presence on foreign markets.

Whilst on holiday in Salento, Puglia, I noticed some restaurant pasta dishes made with ‘orecchiette maritate’. Actually, this was a term I hadn’t heard before. I was surprised to learn that it refers to a ‘marriage’ or mix of 2 types of pasta, orecchiette and what the people in Puglia call maccheroncini. In Italy, the pasta and sauce are always combined in the pan to ensure every piece of pasta is coated. Don’t cook the pasta all the way through in the water. Instead, drain it when it still has a little bite, then add to the sauce and continue cooking for a few minutes more until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed a little of the sauce. Ingredients: durum wheatsemolina. Allergens in bold. May contain traces of soybeans and mustard. Product of Italy.

Since that moment, the mantra of the activity, also in the various generations following the leadership of the company, has always been this: “ Top quality pasta signed with name and surname“.The addition of seafood started among the fishing families and other inhabitants in the coastal areas. Seafood is a staple in Naples and calamari particularly popular. With the addition of some peperoncino (red chilli pepper), garlic and parsley this is a really flavourful Neapolitan classic that I’m sure calamari lovers will enjoy!

in 1629, wrote to Cesare Marsili, a gentleman of Bologna and member of the Accademia dei Lincei, who had been commissioned to find a new lecturer in mathematics. In his letter, Galileo said of Cavalieri, "few, if any, since Archimedes, have delved as far and as deep into the science of geometry." In support of his application to the Bologna position, Cavalieri sent Marsili his geometry manuscript and a small treatise on conic sections and their applications in optics. Galileo's testimonial, as Marsili wrote him, induced the "Gentlemen of the Regiment" to entrust the first chair in mathematics to Cavalieri, who held it continuously from 1629 to his death.This resulted in more than 100 letters from Cavalieri to Galileo in the period 1619- 1641. Galileo did not answer all of them, but sent an occasional letter to Cavalieri; of these all but a very few have disappeared.
