Cold Pasta Recipes

Cold pasta recipes: Pasta a Crudo. This cold pasta salad recipe goes famously with a day at the beach and a cool glass of Verdicchio wine.





The key to this simple pasta is the freshness and high quality of the ingredients: the mozzarella has to be of the freshest kind, the one you buy in its liquid (if possible from buffalo milk), the basil must be just picked and the tomatoes at their best.
