No-Cook Tomato Sauce: The Sicilian Summer Pasta That Requires Zero Heat

Giovanni Siracusa shows how to make Pasta alla Crudaiola โ€” a classic Southern Italian summer dish of orecchiette tossed in a raw, marinated cherry tomato sauce with arugula and ricotta salata. No cooking the sauce required; the heat from the freshly drained pasta does all the work. A perfect light meal for hot days.
