Stringy oven-baked Sorrento pasta: so good!

Sorrentine pasta, typical of the Campania tradition, is a creamy and stringy first course to be savored on Sundays with those you love!

Italy is a country that boasts a large quantity of typical products depending on the territory: in this case Campania offers you a genuine and tasty first course to share with your family. Sorrentine pasta takes inspiration from the original Neapolitan recipe which involves the use of gnocchi: the combination of tomato sauce and stringy mozzarella enhances all the typicality of the area

Cooking this dish in the oven will make the pasta crunchy thanks to the gratin of the parmesan on the surface, but the real secret lies in the preparation of an excellent Sorrento-style sauce: use a full-bodied and tasty tomato sauce to be enriched with oil, garlic and basil .
