  2. It looks like a hot topic))). Just looked it up on google and found that someone even investigated why the Italians consider parmesan over seafood pasta a mauvais ton:

    Our French chef in Angels bay didn't though. And we enjoyed the dish a lot. Also looks like other celebrity chefs do use parmesan in seafood pasta (http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/freshseafoodpasta_85131) but that's probably for they are not Italians)))

    Great thanks for bringing this up though! I didn't even know it's such a discussion firing topic!
