Jolly Pasta Introduces the Southern Italy Fair: Puglia Edition

From April 2nd, Jolly Pasta, a leading pasta specialty store in Tokyo, will host the much-anticipated Southern Italy Fair: Puglia Edition. This month-long event will showcase a selection of five newly crafted dishes inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Puglia, a region known for its diverse seafood and colorful vegetables.

Jolly Pasta is renowned for its monthly themed offerings, and this time, the restaurant has curated an exciting menu filled with stunning seafood options and luscious pasta recipes that embody the spirit of Southern Italy.

New Pasta Creations

Among the highlights of this culinary fair are:

1. Uni Cream Sauce Pasta - ¥1,490 (Tax incl. ¥1,639)

This decadent dish features pasta bathed in a rich and creamy sauce that captures the essence of uni (sea urchin). Topped with premium uni, bursting ikura (salmon roe), and savory bacon, it offers a deep flavor experience complemented by maitake mushrooms for added depth. Enjoy the luxurious cream enveloping each strand of pasta for a truly indulgent meal.

2. Uni Aglio e Olio - ¥1,390 (Tax incl. ¥1,529)

Indulge in the irresistible combination of garlic and olive oil flavors with this vibrant pasta. Garnished with a medley of uni, mussels, ikura, rapini, and cherry tomatoes, this dish is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The enticing aroma of garlic mingles with the umami of uni, creating a delightful taste sensation that highlights the bitterness of rapini and the tanginess of cherry tomatoes.

3. Burrata Cheese with Italian Vegetable Tomato Sauce - ¥1,290 (Tax incl. ¥1,419)

This pasta dish features a tomato sauce flavored with classic Italian vegetables like eggplant and zucchini, topped with an entire piece of creamy burrata cheese. When you cut into the burrata, the rich cheese flows out, blending beautifully with the vibrant tomato sauce and firm pasta. The creamy texture of the cheese pairs perfectly with the richness of the vegetables in the dish.

Appetizers to Delight

In addition to the pasta dishes, Jolly Pasta will also present two mouthwatering appetizers:

4. Burrata Cheese and Orange Caprese - ¥690 (Tax incl. ¥759)

This Caprese salad features the sweet and tangy combination of oranges and cherry tomatoes, balanced perfectly with the creamy burrata. Enhanced with olive oil, black pepper, and basil, this appetizer is a fresh take on the classic Southern Italian starter, providing a vibrant burst of flavors.

5. Italian Vegetables with Soft-Boiled Egg Tomato Stew - ¥490 (Tax incl. ¥539)

This hearty dish combines a variety of traditional Italian vegetables, including eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers, simmered in a delightful tomato sauce and topped with a soft-boiled egg. The refreshing acidity from capers adds a perfect finishing touch. Serve it with crunchy French bread for an elevated experience. This dish is also a great companion to the Puglia wine "Primitivo" (¥2,189) for those looking to pair their meal with a delightful drink.
