Pasta Estiva with Mozzarella and Tomato – Summer Pasta

With temperatures dropping and the sun dimming slowly, this is the kind of pasta to prepare before summer turns into fall.

We want to thank the artist and our dear friend Giulio Fornarelli for realising the background of our pictures using only cardboard.
