The unique and signature dish of The View Restaurant at KC Resort & Over Water Villas

Pasta is semi prepared in the kitchen in a creamy, white wine sauce.
We finish (complete) the dish at the table.
The parmesan wheel is brought to the table and the pasta is then layered in the wheel. We flambé it with brandy. During this the pasta is cooked al dente getting the special taste of parmesan directly from the „cheese cooking pot“.
Once it’s served we shave parmes and truffles over the delicious combination.
