Chef's notes

Ruote and spighe are not very easy to find. I have come across these types of pasta in Lidl's and some independent delicatessens. Ruote can be obtained online from Fratelli Camisa.

Personally, I never bother rubbing garlic on the inside of bowls as you can hardly taste it. I would prefer just to crush some up and mix it with the dressing.

Vegetarians should read carefully the label on bottles of Worcestershire sauce. The original contains anchovies, but some shops' own brand varieties do not.
