PASTA UMBRICHELLI

Pasta bianca umbrichelli is a traditional pasta dish from Umbria, Italy. It is made with umbricelli, a thick, hand-rolled pasta that is similar to spaghetti but with a square cross-section, and a simple white sauce. The white sauce is typically made with olive oil, garlic, and pecorino cheese, although some variations may also include ingredients like white wine, pancetta, or herbs.

Umbricelli is a versatile pasta that can be served with a variety of sauces, but it is particularly well-suited to simple white sauces. The thick noodles of the umbricelli hold onto the sauce well, and the square cross-section helps to trap the sauce in its crevices.

Here is a recipe for pasta bianca umbrichelli:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound umbricelli pasta
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated pecorino cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the umbricelli according to package directions, until al dente.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the pecorino cheese and parsley to the skillet and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is combined.
4. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve immediately.

Here are some tips for making pasta bianca umbrichelli:

• Use fresh umbricelli if you can find it. Fresh umbricelli will have the best flavor and texture.
• If you can't find fresh umbricelli, you can use dried umbricelli or another type of thick pasta, such as bucatini or rigatoni.
• Be careful not to overcook the pasta. The pasta should be al dente, which means it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
• If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of the pasta water.
• You can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as pancetta, sausage, or vegetables.
• Pasta bianca umbricelli is a simple dish, but it is also very flavorful. It is a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner.
