Pasta alla carrettiera is a very easy to prepare, quick and tasty first course. And it is an inexpensive recipe, which never hurts. Seasoned with garlic, chili pepper, oil, pecorino cheese and parsley, it is great for any occasion, from an everyday meal to an impromptu dinner with friends.
Quick and easy, cheap and super tasty: these are the characteristics of pasta alla carrettiera. A typical Sicilian recipe whose sauce made with chili pepper, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, pecorino cheese and parsley requires less preparation time than cooking pasta. And it would be more correct to say “of emulsion” since it is totally uncooked.
A fantastic alternative to the classic dish of Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino, spaghetti alla carrettiera is perfect for all those occasions when time is tight but you want to prepare something simple and tasty. In everyday dinners, when returning from work for example, but also when you have last-minute guests.
Quick pasta ideas are often very welcome when you have friends over for dinner.
