In Italy, cooks throw away their garlic, they don't stir their polenta, and they never labour over pans of risotto. But they do make enormous meatballs that are tender and light, and they occasionally break all the rules when making pasta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe editors at Milk Street have spent years scouring small eateries, local markets, farms, and home kitchens from Lombardy to Calabria and from Sardinia to Sicily in search of fresh takes on classic recipes as well as little-known regional favourites that never crossed the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn our travels, we found new ways with pasta, from foolproof cacio e pepe in Rome to Puglia's olive oil-crisped fettuccine with chickpeas and a lemony pesto from Amalfi, where the pasta itself is enriched with citrus. Plus some surprising tomato sauces, including spaghetti all'assassina from Bari - spicy, charred, and made in one skillet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe visited a Neapolitan trattoria where five sisters serenade diners with opera and serve an eggplant Parmesan that's rich, but never fried. In Northern Italy, we made meatball-like bread dumplings simmered in chicken broth.
