It's nice when you make a meat ragu as an alternative

I can get it from word go to plate in 8 minutes.

Tip for those trying it out...

Keep the toms moving so they don't spit too much.

Squash a little with a masher ( don't mash just crack. The juices form the sauce )

Use a tin of ready sliced olives from ASDA.... cheap n cheerful at about 37p.

I'm feeling a simple puttanesca sauce on spaghetti or linguine at the moment. Adding calamari, clams or just having it naked. Proper lush.

As plow pole have said, each region is very unique.

I love parmigiana: layered up like lasagne but with aubergine slices and a slow cooked sauce and mozzarella.

Tortellini in broth from Bologna is great too.

However, Italian street food is amazing. Proper focaccia from Genoa, arrancini from Palermo...

Mmm

Spent about 2 months in Italy last year and what I enjoyed most is just the simple stuff. A good peice of meat with grilled veg, or a really good bowl of pasta. But the pizzas, propper ones! Oh my god! No wonder I put a stone on during my last trip!

Just remembered bacala. God I ate so much of that. And various fish carpaccio. And the rabbit, and the veal and the procuito. But it still the pizza. And the wine.
