Cheese Wheel Pasta from Cortona’s Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar

For pasta and cheese lovers, this dish is a dream come true. When I spotted it on the menu, I knew I had to indulge—and it did not disappoint.

The culinary experience begins with a showstopper: a massive 100-pound Italian cheese wheel rolled out tableside. With a splash of Hanson’s 100% organic vodka, made from grapes, the wheel is set ablaze, melting the cheese into a luxurious sauce. The pasta is then tossed right in the wheel, absorbing every bit of creamy, parmesan goodness.
