Buona Domenica Reader,

After a long, busy day, when there’s no time to shop, ordering in feels like the easy option.

In the 1970s in Rome, that wasn't even a possibility—there were no deliveries.

Even during intense university exam periods, we relied on a few simple staples already in the kitchen to create exceptional pasta.

These three classic Roman recipes were made for moments like this—quick, resourceful, and deeply satisfying.

See how we prepared them as teenagers, using only what we had on hand:

Teach your sons and daughters how to make these, and everyone will want to be their friend.

Buon appetito,
