Italian food is about cooking a few ingredients really well. It's simple cooking at its finest. Here's our top 10 Italian dishes we know you'll love.
My Dad’s Puttanesca. I grew up on this dish. So so easy to make. Mostly storecupboard ingredients. The key is lots of anchovies and garlic. Give it a go. Ben x
We have perfected the lasagne. The secret ingredient? Milk. It tenderises the meat, to leave you with the most tender ragù. Use a deep dish for lots of layers.
We have perfected the aglio e olio. Lemon is key. Creating an emulsion with the olive oil & the pasta water makes the most delicious pasta you'll ever eat.
Clams, Parsley, Tomatoes. It’s an absolute classic. The perfect date night meal.
The most simple risotto - the onion, garlic and white wine form the perfect base for this wonderfully easy dish.
Rich, tomatoey, sausage pasta topped with parmesan. Fennel seeds are key here. This dish was a favourite at Ben's Dad's Italian restaurant, Cibo. Give it a go.
MOB's take on a classic. Absolutely no cream anywhere near this dish. Pepper, smoked bacon, egg yolk, parmesan & pasta water. Stuff dreams are made of.
The key to the ultimate Bolognese is milk - it tenderises the meat and evens out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Chorizo takes this ragù to the next level. With piping hot gnocchi stirred through at the end - it is a phenomenal dish. A real show-stopper.
Tomato risotto isn't that common, but this is one of the most delicious things we've ever eaten. Tomatoey & chicken stock-ey. Freshened with basil. A belter.
