Milano Nights: Bigoli in Salsa

Travel to Venice through a dish built on restraint, patience and balance: thick strands of bigoli coated with slowly softened onions and salted anchovies.

Bigoli in salsa is a classic expression of Venetian cucina povera and the city’s historic relationship with the sea. Onions provide sweetness, while preserved anchovies bring depth and savoriness. With so few ingredients, the success of the dish depends entirely on the care taken during its preparation.

Live cooking

Watch Chef Olivieri cook the onions slowly until sweet and translucent, melt the anchovies into the base and toss the bigoli directly in the sauce. In keeping with Venetian tradition, no cheese is added.

Wine pairing

The pairing is Claris Pinot Grigio. Freshness and savory notes balance the intensity of the anchovy and onion, keeping the palate clean.
