If you thought you knew all the possible ways to dress a ravioli dish already, then you'd better think twice: here comes a quite unusual - yet very tasty - way of preparing it! All you need is some quality diced pancetta, radishes (yes, radishes!), rocket leaves, pine nuts, a good extra virgin olive oil and a few more spices: try it out and amaze your guests!

Pasta 'alla Napoletana' (be it Spaghetti, Linguine, or any other pasta variety you like) is an incredibly flavourful, quick and easy dish of Italian culinary tradition. All you need are a few simple ingredients - such as pasta (of course), fresh, ripe tomatoes, onion, extra virgin olive oil, basil, pepper and, if you like, Parmesan cheese - and a bit of patience to peel the pomodori.. and the magic is created!

Pasta alla carbonara is a typical dish from the region Lazio, more particularly from Rome itself, made with popular ingredients like pasta, pig’s cheek or bacon, eggs.. and characterised by an intense flavour. Three main hypotheses exist as to how the dish was invented, but none of them has as yet been confirmed. Nonetheless, we are happy we can now enjoy this delicious recipe!

This delicious pasta is one of the most typical of Sicilian dishes! Invented in the Catania, where it's called 'Pasta Ca' Norma', the original recipe is characterised by fresh tomato sauce, fried aubergines, basil and a typical hard cheese called 'ricotta salata' (salty ricotta). This version of the recipe replaces the salty ricotta, which is very hard to find, with Auricchio Provolone, guaranteeing a truly mouth-watering creation! 

Pizzaiola sauce is a famous pasta dressing, the everyday answer to the 'Sunday lunch Bolognese sauce'. Although its history is not certain, experts agree that it was created in the Neapolitan area and that it takes its name after the pizza makers ('pizzaioli'), who used to flavour the original Pizza only with garlic, oregano and tomatoes.

This is a combination of two famous Italian dishes, 'pasta e fagioli' and pasta with codfish and tomato sauce. In some places in Italy, combining beans and fish is quite usual and for one good reason: it tastes great! Also, it makes an ideal pairing on special occasions, like for instance on Christmas' or New Year's eve. All you need is top quality ingredients and soon you'll have a one pot dish everyone will enjoy!

Here comes a really tasty recipe for a spring or summer day: this colourful dish is great if made with tender, baby courgettes, that are easier to find at that time of the year. The mild flavour of the courgettes is combined with the stronger tastes of Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma ham (a typical Italian raw ham), creating a harmonious and balanced dish. Enjoy!
