Description
You have to marry someone who knows how to cook. Love passes, hunger not!
Do you want to know the traditional pasta sauces of real Italian cuisine?
If you think that spaghetti meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo and macaroni cheese are Italian dishes... then you're just off the mark!
In Italy, practically no one knows about these dishes!
In this book, written by an Italian housewife, you can finally learn about the most important and famous recipes of Italian first courses.
My motto is: less is more!
Italian cuisine is made of love and simplicity, easy to find ingredients, a lot of passion and desire to gather around a table.
With the exception of the famous Bolognese ragout which, if you want to cook it well, needs more than 3 hours of time, all the other recipes are quick and many of them are prepared in less than 30 minutes.
Here are some of the recipes you'll find:
Carbonara
Gricia
Pesto alla Trapanese
Arrabbiata
Puttanesca
Gnocchi alla Sorrentina
Pasta alla Norma
Scialatielli and Nduja
…
For each recipe you will find not only my advice and how to prepare, but also historical curiosities.
For example, you will discover that during the Second World War the Americans were decisive for the birth of Carbonara, one of the most famous Roman recipes in Italy.
