Strozzapreti with aubergines, fresh tomatoes and smoked ricotta cheese
Tempo: 30 minutes
Difficoltà: Low difficulty
Pasta with aubergines and fresh tomatoes is a simple and light dish, a classic of Italian cuisine.
Here is a version with a special touch: the addition of smoked ricotta cheese, which, grated at the moment, will add flavour to the dish and make it even tastier.
Mustia Sardinian ricotta is perfect for this recipe because it is particularly delicate. Made from sheep's milk whey, it is smoked for a few days and is light and unobtrusive. It is therefore excellent for giving a smoky touch to the dressing of strozzapreti with aubergines and fresh tomatoes, for which the recipe is presented here.
