Where Pasta Becomes The Whole Reason To Travel

Bologna is a city where the best souvenir may be a note in your phone: what the dough felt like, how the sauce clung, which market stall made the route worth repeating.

At home, do not chase perfection. Buy better eggs, roll thinner than you think, and keep the sauce confident.
