"Cac 'e ove" sauce

To one of the major Italian culinary traditions, pasta, the Ursini chefs could only dedicate a line of excellent specialties: tasty ready-made sauces resulting from exclusive recipes, profoundly different from the various Boscaiola, Bolognese or eggplant sauces that are massively present on the market and are always equal to themselves with the only difference given by the label.

Ursini sauces are born conceptually different: to satisfy the desire for goodness and the new needs of pasta lovers, while also supporting small farmers who work in a sustainable way to enhance and spread products unmistakably linked to tradition.

Pallotte cac 'e ove with red sauce are a typical Abruzzo dish, probably among the most famous. The invention of this meal originates from the peasant tradition when, in times of war, meat was scarce. In fact, they are meatballs with very simple ingredients: bread, cheese (cacio) and eggs. A unique and quick but very substantial hot dish. It can also be used as an appetizer in small doses.
