Foodie Alert! A recent unexpected invitation from an anonymous friend landed me at the palatial Palazzo Margherita in the village of Bernalda, Italy last week. The Palazzo is owned by Francis Ford Coppola; an intimate group was invited to visit and provide perspective on the property. A full blog post soon on the phenomenal Palazzo and the surrounding areas; however, one particular pasta dish left us all begging for more! I’m in a desperate search to find the particular Peperoni di Senise. I brought home a small sample, but must resource more.
Talented Chef Tommaso Lacanfora indulged us numerous times when we shouted more Pasta, more Pasta! One guest, who will remain unnamed, manged to down three primo pasta portions, followed by a superbo secundo barbeque course!
I’ve discovered a local Sicilian food writer who offered to share seeds with me next summer, although it seems like a long wait for this sensational dish….
