Gluten free maccheroncini alla Casanova
40 min
Casanova (the famous Italian lover) believed in pleasing the senses and wrote in his autobiography: ‘I very much loved a good table and everything that excites the curiosity’. He had a particular passion for maccheroni ‘I love refined dishes, macaroni prepared by a skilful Neapolitan cook’, and even wrote a sonnet about it! This recipe was one of Casanova's favourites!
