Now all you have to do is choose which Ferragosto main course recipe you like best and start preparing it at home!
Plating tips:
Grate the zest of an untreated organic lemon directly onto the hot plate of bottarga and lemon pasta so that the heat from the pasta can warm the zest, releasing the essential oils and giving the dish a delicate lemon scent.
Which wine to pair:
Only one wine pairs perfectly with the flavor of bottarga, enhancing it, and that is Vermentino di Sardegna… I suggest the one from Gallura or Oristano!
