Pasta alla Checca

  8 rater(s)

Pasta alla Checca is a classic Italian pasta dish that uses fresh, uncooked tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, and pepper to make the sauce. The sauce is typically prepared with summer-ripened tomatoes, so is it a coincidence that we published this dish on the first day of summer? We think not!
