Italy's regions from The Pasta Project Blog

Italy is made up of 20 regions, each with its own regional cuisine. When it comes to pasta there are many shapes and recipes which are particular to a specific region. Some of them are popular throughout Italy, and even abroad (like tagliatelle bolognese which comes from Emilia-Romagna!). Others are mostly only cooked and eaten in the region where they were invented.
