Mafaldines with Olive Gremolata
Mafaldines with Olive Gremolata is a dish that features mafaldine pasta, a ribbon-like shape with wavy edges, paired with a zesty and aromatic olive gremolata. The pasta is typically cooked to a perfect al dente texture, providing a satisfying bite. The olive gremolata, a mixture of finely chopped olives, garlic, lemon zest, and herbs like parsley, adds a fresh, tangy, and savory contrast to the pasta. This combination highlights the unique texture of mafaldine and the bright, bold flavors of the gremolata, creating a delicious and sophisticated meal.
