Pasta Pot, a new pasta pan presented in February by Alessi, is the result of a first time collaboration between chef Alain Ducasse and designer Patrick Jouin.

Combining tradition with innovation, Ducasse has retrieved the qualities of an antique cooking method known as ‘by concentration’, used by olive gatherers. Having little water available, they cooked pasta as if it were risotto together with all the ingredients in such a way that the starch gave it its particular characteristics.
