In breve

The dish in short

  • Dried sweet Senise peppers, fried for a few seconds in olive oil until crisp, then crushed into the pasta, with a few left whole on top.
  • Mollica: the crumb of stale country bread, fried golden in the same oil. The dish was made to use up old bread.
  • Fresh strascinati, tossed in the pan with the flavoured oil, the crushed peppers and grated cacioricotta.
  • Keep the peppers moving in the oil and lift them out as soon as they darken slightly, before they burn.
