Useful Suggestions

This is a very tasty first course, although it takes a little time to prepare it. Tomatoes will be done in a very short time, so first set water to boil over heat and then prepare the sauce. In less than 30 minutes you’ll have an impromptu dinner with friends ready.

Suggested Wine

We think that this dish matches with Muller Thurgau, a semi-aromatic white wine produced in Trentino, perfumed, dry and delicate. Another wine we think it could match is Soave Classico, a white wine produced in the Veneto region, perfumed and with a persistent taste.
