Today’s dish is pasta with bacon and ricotta: known locally as the “Pasta del Pecoraro”. The “pecoraro” is the dialect word for “shepherd”, and in fact that’s what they used to cook decades ago in their farms.
With the ricotta readily available, freshly made with milk produced by their animals, the pecoraros used to add taste to this meal by introducing the pancetta – or ‘bacon’ if you are short of pancetta, to create a sauce which is creamy and extremely palatable. It won’t take you long to make this pasta, and the result will also come on a budget. So, let’s stop talking and start cooking.
