Radicchio pasta with bacon in cream sauce

This post is also available in: Deutsch English

Now I’m sure the first thing you thought was, “Pasta and radicchio? Does that even go together?” And I’m telling you, yes! The slight bitterness of the radicchio complements the fried bacon perfectly. Topped off with a creamy sauce made from cream and strained tomatoes. But just convince yourself 😉

If you like, you can spice up this dish with chopped walnuts. Simply sprinkle a handful over the finished pasta before serving.
