Pasta Di Parma with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Balsamic Reduction Sauce
This is a great summer dish. Throw in some corn cut off the cob for extra sweetness and crunch. When in Parma, visit Le Sorelle Picchi Ristorante and have a plate of their pumpkin ravioli in sage brown butter. The version, made by these sisters, is the world standard. Maybe this Pasta alla Parmigiana will also be on the menu there. Buon appetito!
