I was invited to dinner at a friend's house one night many years ago where he served this pasta. I was so crazy about it, I just had to have the recipe and he wouldn't tell me. This version, which is what he later confirmed, is a variation on this lombardan dish. In the area of Mantova and Cremona, these flavors are very typical. Who knew you could use amaretti in this way?
Bowtie pasta with Amaretti
While the pasta is boiling, in a frying pan, melt the butter. Add the amaretti and let them soften, breaking them up with a spoon. When the pasta is finished, drain it and place it in a large serving bowl. Pour the amaretti on top, add the parmesan, and toss thoroughly to evenly distribute. Add the basil. Serve while still hot. |
