Pasta with Pecorino Potatoes and Tomato

Pasta with Pecorino Potatoes and Tomato is a simple and delicious pasta recipe: the sauce mixed with pecorino makes it very tasty. It is also quick and very simple to make. I cooked first the diced tomato sauce and in the meantime that the pasta was boiling I cooked the diced potatoes. Once the pasta was ready (I used orecchiette, but all short pasta is ok), I mixed everything and seasoned with grated pecorino. Delicious!!! 😋 All my family appreciated.
