Recipes
horseradish pasta
Ferricelli al Rafano: Pasta with Horseradish Tomato Sauce
Traditionally, this dish is served with pasta called “ferricelli,” named after the iron rod the dough was rolled around. It’s a lovely toothsome pasta, but of course, the recipe is fabulous with any shape, size, or type of pasta!
