Recipes from Calabria

Calabria is a Southern Italian region located in the 'toe' of the boot-shaped Italian peninsula. A number of famous Italian foods come from Calabria including Tropea onions, peperoncino (red chilli pepper) and nduja. This is one of the few Italian regions where the cuisine includes spicy pasta dishes such as pasta with nduja and pasta alla Silana with spicy sausage.
