There’s a reason Italian food has an entire nation wrapped around its little finger. It’s rich but not fussy, indulgent but efficient. The best dishes? They’re about big flavour, minimum effort – and usually, plenty of cheese.
The Big Mamma group has mastered the art of quick, knockout Italian cooking, and here are five of their best dishes, all ready in under 30 minutes. There’s a fiery arrabbiata, a vodka-soaked disco of a rigatoni and a four-cheese gnocchi that might just make you weep with joy. There’s also a creamy porcini tagliatelle (because mushrooms are king) and a simple, basil-flecked orecchiette that proves sometimes, less really is more.
