"Fare La Scarpetta" is an italian expression that refers to the act of using a piece of bread to soak up the leftover sauce or gravy from a plate, a popular and beloved way to enjoy tasty meals, especially pasta ones.
In the beginning of this story, there was a piece of bread...
How the ritual of La Scarpetta was born? Someone said from a child who picked up the leftover sauce in the plate with a piece of bread, following their mom's command.
But good manners say no!
The rules of good manners do not allow taking the bread with your hands and dipping it into the plate.
… and this is where Al Bronzo breaks the rules!

What you need: a well-made plate of pasta with excellent sauce and Barilla Pasta Al Bronzo, a fork, and a lot of hunger.
Take a slice of soft bread and place it next to the plate
Enjoy the pasta - but pause before you take your last bite
Prepare the perfect bite: use the pasta to gather all, absolutely all, the sauce.
