THIS November, Albert Adrià’s luxury food brand, Atavi, will be celebrating the launch of its new Vortici pasta shape with a special menu at Pasta Evangelists in Harrods.
Marking the start of a new chapter, Adrià and Chef Giancarlo Perbellini have joined forces to harness the unique flavours in Atavi’s Smoked and Sourdough pasta profiles. However, it is not the first time that the two legendary chefs have worked together.

“Atavi has already built a strong relationship with Perbellini and the Pasta Evangelists team, as there’s an Atavi Tagliatelle dish on the Harrods menu, so Giancarlo and I wanted to build on this for the new Vortici launch and create two new innovative and delicious dishes,” explains Adrià.
The first of the two dishes will exhibit Atavi’s Vortici sourdough pasta. The new shape is intertwined with garlic butter, lemon, anchovies, chicken emulsion, chive oil, and a zesty sauce.
Meanwhile, the second combines the Smoked Vortici pasta with a cacio-pepe and diavola sauce – a best-seller at Harrods.
Speaking on the collaboration, Perbellini said: “At Casa Perbellini and with Pasta Evangelists, we have always embraced innovation while staying true to our culinary roots. Collaborating with Adrià and Atavi allows us to push the boundaries of creativity and craft new, exquisite dishes that reflect the shared passion we have for exceptional Italian cuisine. With the Vortici launch, we are excited to present two dishes that harmoniously blend tradition and modernity.”
