Recipe Introduction


Not many people have heard of this pasta dish, whose sauce doesn't require any cooking at all. However, it takes more time to prepare than most since the ingredients need to be steeped at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. But I think you'll appreciate the simplicity, and the results are well worth it! Not only will it wake up your palette, your inner animal will get quite the wake-up call from its aphrodisiac qualities!
