Used mainly to season traditional dishes in the Southern regions, ricotta salata is actually very versatile and pairs perfectly with pasta dishes and vegetables. The recipe in which this dairy product finds the ideal combination is pasta alla norma, a cult of Sicilian cuisine, made with fried aubergines and tomatoes. But it is capable of highlighting a simple dish of spaghetti, tomato and basil, as well as a savory pie with courgettes and bacon. Salted ricotta enhances the flavor of cannelloni and baked pasta if grated generously, and is perfect on any vegetable, sautéed or baked au gratin.
