San Cassiano Ricotta and pecorino sauce - 190 gr

Sauce prepared with only Italian tomatoes and the addition of two typical cheeses, ricotta and pecorino. Ricotta is a cheese already produced since the times of the Egyptians and Sumerians, and was also widely used in Greek and Roman times until the Middle Ages, when it seemed to temporarily disappear. It will be Saint Francis who reintroduces it, according to Christian myths, at the end of the 12th century, teaching its production to shepherds. Pecorino Romano is a cheese that has thousand-year-old origins. Already in 48 BC Virgil, describing its nutritional properties, says that every Roman soldier had to consume 27 grams per day. Thanks to its nutritional properties and ease of transport and conservation, its transformation technique spread over the centuries in Tuscany and Sardinia.
