Today we are in Ragusa, in the city center. 85yr old Maria Concetta shows us how she makes her rotolo— a stuffed pasta roll filled with local sausage, ricotta, and spinach, all wrapped and boiled in a cloth, just like her mother used to do over fifty years ago. Her husband Giovanni keeps her company, along with their two dogs, Nemo and Baby. She shares her recipe: For the dough: Durum wheat semola – 300 g Eggs – 2 Salt – A pinch Water – As needed For the filling: Fresh pork sausage – approx. 200–250 g (seasoned with wild fennel and a bit of chili) Fresh ricotta – approx. 250 g Spinach – approx. 200 g For the dressing: Onion – 1 small, finely chopped Celery – 1 stalk, finely chopped Bay leaf – 1 dried leaf Cloves – 3 whole Pork belly – approx. 400–500 g Red wine – about 100 ml Tomato paste – 250 ml jar Water – ½ glass Canned cherry tomatoes – 1 can Sugar – 2 tablespoons Salt & pepper – to taste Olive oil – (approx. 2–3 tablespoons) Buon appetito!
