Childhood in a bowl.

My nonna calls it crudaiola.
I call it one of the most beautiful things you can eat in summer.
This is the pasta I grew up eating when the tomatoes were warm from the sun, the basil smelled like the whole kitchen, and nobody wanted to turn on the oven.
Pasta alla crudaiola is traditional Italian summer cooking at its best: fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and pasta tossed together while everything is raw, juicy, and full of flavor.
No heavy sauce.No complicated steps.Just real ingredients and the kind of simple food Italians make when it’s too hot to cook, but you still want to eat well.
It’s fresh, vegetarian, Mediterranean, easy, healthy, and perfect for lunch, weeknight dinners, summer pasta salads, tomato recipes, basil recipes, Italian home cooking, cucina povera, rustic Italian food, nonna recipes, authentic Italian recipes, cold pasta, easy Italian meals, healthy summer dinners, family recipes, garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil recipes, simple homemade food, and anyone craving real Italian food that tastes like home.
The secret is letting the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper sit together first, so they create their own fresh sauce before the pasta goes in.
That’s what makes it taste like summer.
Fast, fresh, and full of soul.
