Italian Spaghetti

Buongiorno!

Let me say, Spaghetti is one of the most iconic figure that represents Italy, my country!

Now it is summer, we need fresh vegetables, fresh recipes. The best you can find in Italy is Spaghetti and Pomodoro (tomato).

And we add Basil as well...and ricotta cheese, so we have the colors of the Italian flag! (red, white and green!)

This is a gourmet version, easy to prepare in few steps but very fashion to show to your friends during a dinner.

Follow me in my kitchen and we will prepare it together!

Here are the ingredients and the steps. You can find the video recipe in my Instagram page or in my YouTube channel.
