Pasta al Fumo is a famous recipe invented in Cortona. Revisited, with pici, or in the original version, with spaghetti, the recipe of "fumo" is today a cult of Cortona’s cuisine. It is on the menus of all restaurants, inside and outside the walls of the historic center, yet not everyone knows the circumstances that gave birth to this dish. This dish was created by a famous Cortona cook "Adriana Biagianti Accordi" during one of her catering services at the Tonino restaurant which already offered a similar recipe. This mysterious dish inspired the Cortona cook who, after careful reworking, gave rise to the now famous recipe for "Pasta al fumo".
