Crudaiola pasta is the most prepared dish in summer, easy, quick, tasty, and colorful. Crudaiola pasta is a cold first course, the main ingredients are cherry tomatoes, basil, and hard Apulian ricotta. Like all pasta salads, there are variations, in this you can add garlic and friggitelli (a type of small, long pepper) usually fried. It’s a preparation that’s not only good but also very simple, it could also be an idea for those who need to be out all day, because you can prepare the dressing in the morning and store it in the fridge until lunch (in this case, without adding the oil, but doing so later). Now, let me leave you to the recipe!!
