This time I go back to Italy after eighteen years abroad!
I will be living in the beautiful town of Verona and that is exciting!
Being back in Italy means being able to find familiar ingredients and
enjoying going out to eat the delicious food this country produces!
I will surely add more pasta dishes in my diet and maybe gain some extra weight.
I take the risk!
I want to share with you a pasta dish I haven't made for ages because it was always difficult to find the right ingredients:
Orecchiette alla ricotta
Ingredients for 4 people
350 g orecchiette pasta
250 g fresh ricotta cheese
200 g cubed pancetta
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS grated parmesan cheese
Bring water to boil in a pasta pot.
Meanwhile, add in a big frying pan oil and pancetta.
Let it cool for few minutes, then add ricotta and half glass of water.
Add salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
Add a TBS of coarse salt into the boiling water and cook orecchiette al dente.
Drain pasta, reserving half glass of cooking water.
Add the pasta and the water into the ricotta sauce together with parmesan and mix well.
Serve pasta very warm.
