My other favourite Italian dish is pizza. It can be eaten with any combination which I love to add and omit which I dislike.
I am yet to explore most of these pizza as there are lots of flavour combinations which always make it a new experience. South France pizza also make it exciting for me to explore these new pizza flavour and garnishing.

My favourite Italian dish has got to be the hearty quintessential Spaghetti Bolognaise. A well made one filled with thick juicy chunky pieces of beef and sprinkles of parmesan can send my tastebuds into overdrive. I yearn it almost everyday. Maybe because my everyday is filled with sandwiches. Bland.

On a trip to Italy last June, I had the most beautiful gastronomic 24 hours of my life. It began late one night at the Alaska Gelateria in Santa Croce, Venice where I nearly wept over the gelato. Fresh pistachio, puce green and light; almond, creamy and rich, and a final, simple but singing lemon sorbet. So good, I called my mum at 5am AUS time to tell her. She understood.

The next day we travelled to Lake Guarda where I had the most transformational Linguine alla vongole. Not many ingredients, just fresh fish, a salty, winey syrup and mediterranean air.

Bliss.

My favourite Italian dish is my mum’s home made Italian pasta tomato sauce with either spaghetti or penne.

While in Florence I dined in a tiny restaurant on the most amazing rabbit pappardelle. A few quality ingredients made this rustic dish one of the most memorable meals of my life
