Ingredients:
·
200 g Orecchiette pasta
·
Half a blond onion
·
One red pepper
·
A generous spoonful of cow's ricotta
cheese
·
EVO oil
·
Salt
·
Pepper
·
Breadcrumbs to taste
·
Oregano
·
Grated lemon peel
Method:
Stew the pepper in a pan together with the finely
chopped onion. Once softened, blend together with its cooking liquid and a
spoonful of ricotta.
Obtain a smooth cream and transfer it to the frying
pan.
Separately, toast the breadcrumbs with a little oil
and herbs to taste (garlic powder, dried oregano and a pinch of salt).
When golden brown, set aside. Once the orecchiette
pasta is cooked, plunge it directly into the pepper cream and stir until it is
nice and creamy.
Now serve with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs, lemon zest
and a drizzle of raw oil.
