Classic Meat Based Pasta Sauces
Italian cooking is very difficult to pin down -- almost every city and town has its specialties, and there are regional trends too; the end result is a huge number of local cuisines rather than a single national cuisine. However, there are some dishes that you will find almost everywhere, and that are now standards among the many Italian communities scattered across the globe.
Amatriciana Sauce
People
associate this tomato-and-pancetta-based wonder with Rome, but it's actually
from Amatrice, in Abruzzo. Who can blame the Romans for adopting it?
Bolognese Sauce
You may grow
old, ugly, even doddering, but you'll never want for company if you can make a
good meat sauce for pasta, otherwise known as Sugo. This is one of the
best.
Carbonara Sauce
A bacon and
eggs sauce sounds odd, but wait until you try it.
Spaghetti with Meatballs
The classic Italian-American spaghetti with meatballs draws from South Italian
feast day traditions.
