Pasta e patate is one of the most rooted recipes in the
Italian gastronomic tradition: a popular origin dish, the ingredients are few, simple and poor, but the result is on the contrary rich in flavors and nourishing.
It is fundamental cooking the
pasta directly in the same pan with the
potatoes (previuosly sliced into small pieces and cooked) in order to thicken the two starches.
Nowadays a particularly successful reinterpretation is the adding of
smoked provola, in this case the
Smoked Buffalo Provola from Battipaglia - Caseificio Esposito, adding a pleasant smoked note to the round and delicate taste of the traditional
recipe.
