Fregola is a pasta from Sardinia, similar to couscous but with a denser texture. We pair it with a classic Cacio e Pepe sauce made with Pecorino and pepper, and add stracciatella, fragrant chanterelles, parsley, and Parmesan.

The flavor of this dish is like a morning market in Sassari: fresh herbs, Parmesan, a light hint of pepper, and mushrooms still warm from the sun. Simple, authentic, and delicious.
