If you do a search on the site, using words like pasta, spaghetti, lasagne etc.. there are lots to choose from. That's without refining it by adding words like Tuscan, Neapolitan, Sicilian etc

I've always wanted to crack Picada.
Risotto Milanese showcases saffron
Caprese salad is a class act if the basil and tomatoes are kicking in where you are!

This is not the usual recipe, it is very obscure one!
Slice champinion mushrooms, chop or in a blander a basil bunch,
On a hot plate griller etc, grill piece of Beef, a small piece,
just to brown the out side not cook it, inside should be uncooked, now slice thinly and arrange in a long plate mixed the mushrooms with basil and a bit of olive oil, and spread on the top of the meat in a hot oven and cook, till the beef is done.
