Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Quick and easy passata

    • angela_woef21 on March 20, 2026

      Straight in the food processor, no need to strain seeds

  • Chicken diavola

    • KarinaFrancis on June 29, 2025

      Great recipe for a quick and tasty chicken. The pan juices are delicious!

  • Mediterranean potatoes

    • KarinaFrancis on June 29, 2025

      These cook at the same temp and same time as the chicken diavalo so a perfect pairing from this book. The potatoes are delicious and carry the flavours really well. Next time I will add the capers for the last 10 minutes because they got a bit lost.

In Simple Italian, Silvia Colloca shares the essential dishes and techniques that are at the heart of the world's most popular cuisine. With 100 recipes and countless tips and tricks, you'll be cooking like a nonna in no time. Create silky smooth pasta, find out which shapes go with which sauce and learn the secrets to achieving perfectly creamy risotto and soft gnocchi every time.

Alongside chapters on pasta, gnocchi and rice, you'll also learn how to create stunning antipasto spreads and cook hearty mains and elegant sides to go with them. Whip up light and airy focaccia, then turn your leftover bread into delicious meals, such as meatballs or deep-fried mozzarella toasties. And don't forget the sweets - nothing fancy here, just the simple cakes, biscuits and tarts that Italians actually eat at home.

If you have always wanted to be able to cook like an Italian, this book is for you. Silvia's food is authentic, fresh, simple and delicious. No fussy or elaborate techniques and nothing but the best produce and ingredients. These are the meals that Italians can't live without - and soon you won't be able to either.
