Georgia: What Is Our Most Popular Pasta?
National Pasta Day is right around the corner (October 17). In celebration, Betway has compiled a report highlighting each state’s most searched pasta dish. The most popular pasta in Georgia adds a little ricotta to the dish.
Is there a such thing as a “bad” pasta? Probably not. However, there are certain plates (or bowls) that, when prepared right, are a step above the rest. Pasta can be a feel-good meal wherever you choose to eat it. Whether you dig into pasta dinner on Sunday nights, filled with family, friends, bread, and wine, or head out to your favorite Italian restaurant.
For Betway to compile their report, they analyzed Google search data in every state. The pasta types with the highest search volume ranked highest on their corresponding list.
How Much Does America Love Pasta?
The short answer is a lot. “Lasagna is the most popular pasta dish in the U.S., followed by gnocchi carbonara, ragu, bolognese, and alfredo,” Betway’s report states. Except for Alfredo, all of those aforementioned pastas are tomato sauce-based. In addition, this report shows that pasta is most popular in the Northeast and Midwestern.
What Pasta Does Georgia Prefer?
Betway explained that Georgia is one of just four states where the most popular and searched pasta is Ravioli. It must be that pasta-lovers in the Peach State have a strong liking for ricotta cheese or a meat filling. Tortellini then ranked as the second favorite pasta in Georgia. Alfredo then rounded out the top three. Oddly enough, macaroni and cheese finished last on the list.
Now that you are in the mood for a fresh plate of ravioli, here are a few options. Earlier this year, Eater Atlanta published a feature on the best places to get pasta in the greater Atlanta area. In addition, last month Four Square highlighted 15 of the best ravioli spots.
Georgia Destination Named A Best Tiny House Hotel
A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. “Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now,” they explain.
In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.
Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.
“If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in,” Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.
Live A Little Chatt – Rising Fawn, Georgia
Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. “It’s evident that each was built with love and intention,” Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.
Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That’s where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.
Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. “We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately.” Live A Little Chatt says.
