These elegant pasta parcels encase a refined blend of aromatic basil, spinach and velvety ricotta, complemented by sweet leek and peppers. The simple and powerful sauce marries the subtle complexity of vodka and cream, finished with hand picked basil.
Marcello's wine pairing recommendation: a glass of a light-bodied red, fresh, and floral with soft tannins that won't clash with the creaminess or spice such as Frappato from Sicily or Pinot Noir from the Mornington Peninsula
