The spaghetti with friggitelli, sausage, and smoked ricotta is a rich and flavorful white first course.
The stars are the friggitelli peppers, small tender sweet green peppers that cook quickly.
With the peppers, I combined the sausage, and once completed, instead of using parmesan, I added a generous grating of smoked ricotta.
A dish that encapsulates the flavors of the south, reminiscent of the best flavors of family recipes.
