Carbo-Load for the Marathon with 10 of Brooklyn’s Best Pasta Dishes
al di la: Malfatti
The thing about the malfatti at al di la is that it doesn’t even really feel like a gut-busting carb bomb. Instead, it feels like a heart-busting fat bomb. This is because malfatti are basically little ricotta dumplings, and the malfatti at al di la are bathed in a nutty, brown butter sage sauce that is pure heaven. And the cool thing is that you kind of feel healthy because they’re green! The green comes from the presence of Swiss chard, but all the incredible flavor? That’s the ricotta and brown butter. Delicious.
