CONCHIGLIONI WITH HAM AND TOMATO PESTO
I was always intrigued by those huge pasta filled with ricotta cheese and spinach and I always wanted to create some myself! But in a lockdown world you have to deal with all your family and it is not easy to satisfy everyone especially when they are not too keen on ricotta cheese. So I came with a ham and dry tomato pesto for a change and it was a really nice success! So do not hesitate to be creative, you have all the time in the world to try some adventurous recipes…;)
