There’s something magical about pasta
It’s simple, comforting, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a quiet dinner at home or a lively gathering with loved ones, a good pasta dish always brings people together. This one’s a personal favorite, full of flavor and love in every bite.
To get the perfect pasta texture, always cook it al dente and finish it in the sauce for maximum flavor absorption. Use high-quality olive oil and don’t skip the fresh herbs—they bring brightness and balance to each forkful. It’s the little touches that make a big difference!
Great meals often come from simple ingredients and a little creativity. This recipe was inspired by my travels through Southern Italy, where fresh flavors and rustic techniques turn everyday meals into something special. Cooking, to me, is about joy—and I hope this dish brings a little to your table.
