Pasta di Giuditta for Prezzo:)

I haven't made any posts in English so far. This blog is running in Hungarian-as only Hungarian people follow it-as far as I know, but who knows...:)

BUT this is a very special occasion. I made this pasta for Prezzo's competition for their staff: " Create your own dish!"

That's why I decided to make this post in English, they might check it here:) So Dear Prezzo Judges and Everyone, enjoy :)
