Some curiosities ..........
This spaghetti recipe was born some time ago from the need to finish these tasty green peppers and has now become one of the classics in the family.
But .... let's talk about the Friggitelli! They are sweet peppers, very tasty and crunchy. They are small and have an elongated shape and can be found from May onwards throughout the summer.
In southern Italy, friggitelli are best enjoyed fried, they are cooked in boiling oil as they are, without removing the seeds inside: a delicacy!
Ingredients
- Pasta, of course, you can choose any type of pasta you prefer, personally I love spaghetti very much and they are my first choice when I have to make a pasta dish.
- Friggitelli they must be of a nice bright green color, firm to the touch.
- Robiola is a fresh cheese, with a soft and creamy consistency and a fresh and slightly acidic flavor. You can replace it with ricotta or cream cheese like philadelphia.
- Chive, an aromatic plant with great properties and benefits, has a very pleasant aroma, similar to that of onion or shallot, but much more delicate, it is cut into small pieces to release all the aroma.
Instructions
Thankfully, this spaghetti recipe only takes 30 minutes to make.
While the water is boiling, in a bowl I mix the Robiola with the chives and a drop of cooking water helps me to make everything very creamy. Once the peppers are cleaned, I cut them into strips and cook them in a non-stick pan with oil and garlic until they become tender.
When the spaghetti is al dente, I drain them retaining a little of the cooking water and mix them with the cream of robiola and chives, helping me with the cooking water to give it more creaminess. Finally, add the Friggitelli peppers and mix everything together.
The Friggiteli pepper pasta is ready to serve!
