Pasta is a one of Italians' favourite dishes, they eat it every day and never get tired of it. The following recipe shows a typical first dish of Italian cuisine, famous all over the country, but you can eat it mostly in coastal areas, where there is a wider availability of fresh fish and shellfish. Tagliatelle with prawns is not complicated to make, it's very quick and, if you don't overdo the oil, it's a light option for a perfect summer dinner.

Here comes an exotic rice salad for all those of you out there who like nutty cereals, seafood and cheese. The Venere variety is a highly aromatic rice, rich in mineral salts, magnesium, phosphorous and selenium. The much loved combination of octopus, summer vegetables and Provolone cheese flakes creates an appetizing dish that can be enjoyed warm or cold alike.
