Broccoli Rabe with Casarecce Pasta
Many of us use the same pasta over and over again. Every now and then, I add a bit of variety to my pasta meals. Why not give casarecce pasta a try? “Casarecce” translates to homemade and originated from Sicily. They are a short twist of pasta, which appear rolled up on themselves. I always by a whole meal flour version.
