95yr old Rosa makes an easy pasta with stewed peppers and tomatoes! | Pasta Grannies

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive while still providing a neutral flavor.

Chop the peppers roughly and fry them in olive oil with plenty of garlic cloves.

Remove the peppers from the oil and fry some quartered tomatoes in the same oil.

Pour in some homemade pasta sauce and return the peppers to the pan.

Bring salted water to a boil for the cicatelli pasta.

Take a slice of dough, cut it into strips, and roll them out into ropes about 1 cm in diameter.

Chop the rolled dough into 5 cm segments to make the pasta.

Press the tips of three fingers into the dough and pull it towards you to create an open curved tube.

Dump the cicatelli into the boiling water and stir to prevent sticking; they will take around 4 minutes to cook.

Add a little water to the sauce to prevent it from catching on the pan base.

Check the pasta for doneness, then drain it.

Ladle the sauce over the drained pasta and serve.
