Tips & Techniques

When travelling in Italy, I became addicted to the simple rustic pasta dishes - just a few really good quality ingredients, a bottle of wine and bellisimo! My favorite was one that incorporated bread, nuts and herbs to make the sauce rather than the rich creamy sauces you often find here. You could use any nuts or herbs and add cooked chicken, seafood or fish to this dish, too.
