Pasta with ricotta and saffron (pasta alla barbara)
Pasta and macaroni
Italian cuisine
When I lived in Siena, Italy, my host mother Barbara would often make this dish from her favorite TV food personality Benedetta Parodi. A sort of Italian Rachael Ray, Benedetta has a knack for fast family friendly dishes, as evidenced by the fact even my picky 2 year old host sister delightedly gobbled this down. I love how using just a little saffron turns ordinary pasta into something much more special. The key is to use fresh, creamy ricotta. At that point, you are only 10 minutes away from a weeknight dinner worthy of the finest Italian restaurant.
