🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐This week’s special at Cortona’s! The Italian proverb “Al contadino non far sapere quanto è buono il formaggio con le pere” literally translates to “Do not let the farmer know how good cheese is with pears.” .. The old folk belief was that if farmers (or peasants) realized just how delicious and valuable the combination of aged cheese (cacio or pecorino) and fresh pears was, they would keep all the best produce for themselves or dramatically raise their prices. Rigatoni tossed in a creamy Parmesan and provolone sauce made with sweet pears , prosciutto and shallots. Savory, a little sweet, and full of cozy comfort—this one is pear-fectly worth a try! 🍝
Available this week. Come see us in Fortville! 🇮🇹
