The paccheri with rib cut à la Genovese is a refined homage to Neapolitan tradition, reinterpreted with great mastery by chef Alberto Marcolongo, Executive Chef of the renowned Benoit restaurant in New York, part of the prestigious Alain Ducasse group. The carefully chosen ingredients tell a story of deep flavors and enveloping aromas: the meat, slowly cooked until tender and succulent, blends perfectly with the sweet onions, which, through hours of patient cooking, transform into a rich and creamy sauce, capable of enhancing every bite of pasta. The result is a main course that, while respecting the authenticity of the classic Neapolitan Genovese, stands out for its touch of modern and innovative elegance.
