Fregola with Bottarga

Difficulty Easy
Preparation Time 35 min

Description

Fregola is a Sardinian ingredient made from durum wheat semolina, featured in many first courses—both land and sea dishes. It is cooked in hot broth just like rice.

In our recipe, we pair it with the savory flavor of bottarga and the fresh, exquisite taste of tomatoes, parsley, and garlic.

The final result is a summery dish with an inviting appearance and intense flavor, perfect for a special occasion or a dinner with friends.
