Anellini alla pecorara

Anellini alla pecorara is a traditional pasta dish originating from Abruzzo. It's made with a combination of anellini pasta and a hearty vegetable sauce. The ring-shaped anellini pasta is made from durum wheat flour and water, while the sauce is made with a combination of tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, olive oil, eggplant, red bell peppers, zucchini, and ricotta. Before serving, the pasta is mixed with the sauce, and the dish is usually topped with grated pecorino cheese and strings of ricotta.
