Written by Hailey Middlebrook
Looking for somewhere to fuel up this week? We asked five chefs for their dish recommendations for runners, or anyone in need of a pasta fix.
Bacco Athletes won’t have to go far from the starting line to dine at this Mount Pleasant mainstay. Order chef Michael Scognamiglio’s “Scialatielli con Gamberi,” thick-strand noodles topped with sautéed tomatoes and shrimp and finished with parsley. 976 Houston Northcutt Blvd., Ste. O, Mount Pleasant; (843) 884-6969; baccocharleston.com
Juliet This is the spot for the fleet-footed and fashionable. Chef Nate Whiting recommends classic carbonara, a menu staple of housemade linguine tossed with freshly cracked black pepper, Pecorino Romano, crispy pork belly, and egg yolk. One word of caution: the dish is on the heavier side, so those with nervous stomachs may want to split it with a friend. 654 King St., (843) 329-7543, julietchs.com
The Obstinate Daughter At this Sullivan’s Island eatery, try chef Jacques Larson’s seasonal agnolotti, a ravioli-like dish stuffed with quail and mushrooms and tossed with telleggio sauce. 2063 Middle St., Sullivan’s Island; (843) 416-5020; theobstinatedaughter.com
Le Farfalle Slide into a booth at this contemporary osteria on Beaufain Street and order Chef Michael Toscano’s spaghetti dressed simply with lemon, a hint of chili oil, and bottarga (cured fish roe that has a saltiness akin to anchovies, but less overpowering). 15 Beaufain St., (843) 212-0920, lefarfallecharleston.com
Al Di La Escape to this West Ashley favorite for a dish of fettuccine alla Bolognese. “It has protein from the mixture of beef, pork, and veal, as well as a hearty serving of vegetables,” chef Ben Anderson says. 25 Magnolia Rd., (843) 571-2321, aldilarestaurant.com
