Description

I love preparing this dish of penne with radicchio, speck and walnuts! It is an explosion of autumn flavors that is prepared in a flash. The radicchio, with its bitter taste, goes perfectly with the flavor of the speck and the crunchiness of the walnuts. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar complete the dish. Perfect for a quick but tasty dinner, this first course is a real comfort food. Ideal for those who love strong flavors and do not have much time to devote to cooking. Try it, it will win you over!
