ITALIAN “DIRTY” PASTA: PASTA ALLA ZOZZONA

PASTA ALLA ZOZZONA is a typical first course of Roman cuisine and as the name already suggests, it is really very, but very rich, it is the sum of amatriciana and carbonara.

If you have cholesterol problems or weight problems in general, this dish should be prepared only as a weekly extravaganza….

The term “dirty-style” would have the meaning of “dirty,” but combined with this recipe it means “yummy,” “very messy.”

Rigatoni pasta is covered in a creamy tomato-based sauce, interspersed with chunks of meat and garnished with grated cheese. The dish sits on a white plate.
