Preparation

How to prepare the marshal's pasta recipe

1

First, finely chop the onion , preferably red with a sweeter flavour, and brown it in a pan with oil and a pinch of salt which helps release the water.

2

Once tender, add the diced bacon (or strips if you buy the whole slice and cut it yourself) and brown it over a high heat until it begins to release some of the fat.

3

At this point, add the tomato pulp , a pinch of salt and cook for about 15 minutes, until the sauce shrinks slightly.

4

In the meantime, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package.

5

Once the sauce is ready, all that remains is to add the cream and mix well. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pan with the sauce.

Your delicious first course is ready to be enjoyed: prepare to be inundated with a riot of flavour.

We also leave you a video with all the steps to make it. As you can see, go ahead to add basil and/or parsley and, why not, a sprinkling of parmesan!

Conservation

The marshal's pasta can be kept in the refrigerator , well covered in cling film, for 2-3 days. You can reheat it either in a pan or in the microwave before consuming it.

Origin of the dish

This dish seems to have relatively recent origins but it is not clear what the name derives from, nor where it originated. In fact, two legends circulate about it. The first tells that the marshal's pasta was prepared for the first time by a Sicilian restaurateur to satisfy the appetite of a marshal who arrived at his restaurant shortly before closing. Not having much at his disposal, he combined the ingredients he had to create the dish.

The other legend, which however has no solid basis in history, says that the dish was born at the hands of Napoleon's marshal Lefebvre during his period stationed in Sicily. Too bad he never set foot on the island!
