RIGATONI ALLA VIGNAROLA
A classic taste of spring from the Lazio region, this dish celebrates the season’s freshest ingredients: tender peas, fava beans, and artichokes, brought together with guanciale in a vibrant sauce that perfectly coats each rigatoni.
Simple and rustic, it captures the essence of Italian countryside cooking.
