Italian recipes
155 authentic Italian recipes
Pasta, risotto, olive oil, tomato, Parmigiano
Italy does not have a single cuisine — it has twenty, one per region, each defined by geography, climate, and centuries of separate political history. Emilia-Romagna contributes fresh egg pasta (tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini in brodo) and Parmigiano-Reggiano; Tuscany, the ribollita and bistecca alla Fiorentina; Sicily, sarde a beccafico and pasta alla Norma. The philosophy underlying all of them is cucina povera — maximum flavour extracted from seasonal, often humble ingredients. Pasta asciutta (sauced and served dry) and pasta in brodo (cooked in broth) coexist as distinct categories. Pantry essentials include 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, guanciale, dried porcini, and Pecorino. Olive oil quality and seasonal timing are non-negotiable.
