Cheese and pasta go together like few food combinations. As great as they both are individually, a particularly enticing alchemy of flavours occurs when they join forces. But simply sprinkling grated mozzarella or ground parmesan over your spaghetti is definitely yesterday's news. Eating pasta served out of a cheese wheel is what it's all about now.
Salt Meats Cheese has been hopping on everyone's current favourite Italian culinary bandwagon for a while now, so its weekly night dedicated to the dish isn't new — but it's still tasty. Drop into the chain's Gasworks eatery on Wednesdays from 5pm, and you'll tuck into the cheesiest bowl of pasta you're ever likely to taste for $25.
Flavour-wise, there's a few available, because even a meal like cheese wheel pasta can use a few additions. Just classic cheese is still on the menu, as are two other varieties each week. In the past, everything from truffle and carbonara to pesto genovese, gorgonzola and smoked mozzarella have been dished up, so arrive hungry.
Bookings are essential and can be made online.
