Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • lils74 on October 15, 2019

    Made this a week or so ago after seeing the EYB digital preview and being inspired by the butter-balsamic vinegar combo. I made some substitutions - regular fusilli (corkscrew pasta) rather than gemelli as I can't get those here, and a fresh ball of mozzarella for the ricotta salata, which I acknowledge changes the flavor profile rather. It was fascinating and tasty, and I would definitely make again, trying another cheese even thought it was great this way. I did find it rather dry - I like my pasta a little juicier - but couldn't decide if this was how the recipe was meant to be, or if I over-reduced my balsamic (reducing recommended if you don't have the pricey stuff, and I didn't). I also used some orange cherry tomatoes instead of red, which gave a lovely color but may have been less juicy? Still, fascinated enough to give it another go. Interesting and recommended.
