Field Notes

The first time we made this recipe was completely improvised. It was on a super busy day, everybody was hungry and we needed something indulgent, something loaded with carbs and something fast. We always like to use our own products, so superstraccia was on the cards. As we didn't have enough basil to make a traditional pesto, we opted for the pesto rosso route, and it turned out to be incredible and became one of our teams weekly favourites. Oh, and we like to go for the really thick big rigatoni's as a lot of the sauce and ingredients slip inside each bite, almost like an open dumpling...
