Although Italy's chefs are known for being amongst the most adventurous, wacky and downright wild in the whole world, sometimes nothing but the classics will do. This collection of traditional Italian recipes is full of well-loved dishes, packed with bold and bountiful flavour.

We have a plethora of classic pasta dishes here, from a traditional Bolognese ragù to Roman favourite spaghetti alla carbonara. As well as hearty stews like a classic pollo alla cacciatora recipe, we have daintier treats like Ventian baccalà mantecato, or a delicious crunchy Sicilian cannoli recipe.
