Arrabbiata is a spicy Italian tomato sauce with chillies. In this recipe, we steam mussels in an arrabbiata sauce, which is absolutely delicious with chunks of fresh bread to soak up all the goodness.
Brinjal bake (Parmigiana di melanzane)
Melanzane, is the Italian word for brinjal (egg plant or aubergine, as some may refer to them). And the ever-so-popular version where slices of roasted brinjal are smothered in a rich Italian tomato sauce and baked with cheese on top, is known as Parmigiana di melanzane. This is an absolutely wonderful side dish or starter.
The best Italian tomato sauce
A flavourful and versatile tomato sauce is such an amazing staple to have in your kitchen. It’s really worth making a big batch while you’re at it – do this on the weekend, when you have time. You can add almost any protein to this sauce. For some recipes the sauce can be the base for the meal (see the Easy chicken parmesan in the tips in the recipe) and other times it’s a delicious accompaniment.
