Rigatoni with ricotta cream is a classic Sicilian dish and represents one of the first simple, genuine dishes first made by the poor and peasants of southern Italy.

Strawberry Tiramisu with Sponge Cake

A very easy to prepare, very good pasta dish due to the creaminess of the ricotta paired with the pecorino cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. It can be prepared both with cow’s milk ricotta and with sheep’s ricotta, the latter is much tastier.

Last December I went to Sicily to visit my family.

During my stay in Sicily, as you know the visits to family members and friends are not lacking, memories emerge and you would like to enjoy every moment with them so that when you return to the USA you can have more beautiful memories to relive.

One day, dear childhood friends reminded me of the times where we went to eat pasta and ricotta in a trattoria in Palermo. It was very good!!! I can’t ever forget the taste and aroma of fresh ricotta.

I hope this recipe of mine gives you the same feelings it gives me every time I eat rigatoni with ricotta cream.

Enjoy every single rigatoni.

Buon Appetito!
