Beef Pizzaiola (2-4)
This version from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigellissima” uses fresh tomatoes rather than the tinned tomatoes used in the recipe for Pizzaiola Steak on this site. You can use humanely reared rose veal as an alternative to steak if you like.

Sausages with Parmesan Polenta (4)
I recently visited the north of Italy where i returned to the same restaurant in Stresa on Lake Maggiore three times .

I haven’t been able to find a recipe for that dish, but this dish from ” Rick Stein’s Food Heroes” is a good second best.

Budino di cioccolato (6)
I came across this Italian chocolate pudding on a recent trip to Italy when i was keen to try something other than Tiramasu for dessert.
