Homemade Pasta Primavera, Sorrento Style
It’s so inspiring for me to experience the simple pleasures of daily life and local food during the springtime in the Campania countryside – with all of the wildflowers springing up everywhere, the green grass, fresh, fragrant air, sunshine, and flourishing gardens that brim with all sorts of delicious fruits, vegetables, and aromatic herbs.
Because nature gives to each season beautiful gifts of its own, I simply adore planning our meals and bringing our table to life with the vibrant flavors, colors, and traditions of the local lands at the given moment.
So when I recently had the honor of spending the day in the kitchen at Ristorante L’Antica Trattoria with Antonio Spasiano, one of the most talented chefs in Sorrento, I was beyond thrilled. Born and raised in Sorrento, Antonio in known for taking pride in the scrumptious dishes he crafts, which are skillfully and meticulously put together utilizing the celebrated peak season ingredients and local specialty products of his native land.
