A fresh, home-mede, colorful, exciting first dish which is easy to make and only takes a few easy steps
Today Chef Sara Lai proposes a new pasta format for our Dinner in 15 column: orecchiette.
Orecchiette is a type of fresh pasta typical of the Puglia region.
Unlike many other traditional types of pasta, orecchiette does not contain eggs.
They are made from remilled durum wheat flour, water and salt, making them perfect for vegans too.
Today we combine this wonderful pasta, which is much easier to make than you might think, with fresh asparagus, crispy guanciale and cherry tomatoes.
Colourful, fun and tasty, this dish pairs perfectly with 'Amore e Follia di Podere le Ripi', which our Mamablip wine expert, Filippo Bartolotta, uncorks and pours in the company of the chef.
