While most people associate Italian cuisine with pizza and pasta, Italian food is surprisingly diverse as a category.

Yet one characteristic unites the cuisine from Lombardy to Sicily: the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients.

Here are our 10 best Italian recipes, whether you fancy an Italian wrap, Risotto alla Milanese or tiramisu.
