Pasta al pil pil is perhaps better known as Gambas al Pil Pil which is a tapas. Here I have made a more filling version with pasta.
Perfect summer food with a cold dry white wine, Soave from Italy is my personal favorite for this one.
As you know, you can make your own mark on all dishes, tomatoes also go well with Pasta al Pil Pil, I personally remove the seeds and chop the tomato into smaller pieces.
Several dishes with pasta suitable for summer and sun that you can try::
Pasta Vongole
Pasta with mussels in wine and cream sauce
Mussels in coconut milk with lime and spring onion
Tuna pasta
Pasta Primavera
