The recipe for penne with speck and ricotta is easy and quick to prepare. While preparing the condiment, boil plenty of salted water and as soon as it reaches the boiling temperature, throw the pasta.

Meanwhile, grease a pan with a bit of oil and toast the slivers of speck for a few minutes, then let them cool so that they become crunchy.

Drain the pasta and set aside the cooking water, you need it to amalgamate the sauce for the condiment.
