Frequently asked questions

What are the most popular Italian pasta dishes?

Carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and bolognese are the four great Roman and Bolognese pasta classics. All are made with just a few high-quality ingredients.

Do I need special Italian ingredients?

Most Italian dishes use pantry staples: good olive oil, canned tomatoes, parmesan or pecorino, garlic and dried pasta. A few recipes call for guanciale or specific Italian cheeses, but substitutes are easy to find.

Is Italian food difficult to make at home?

Many iconic Italian dishes are surprisingly simple. Cacio e pepe uses only three ingredients; bruschetta takes five minutes. The key is using good-quality produce and following the technique carefully.
