In Italy, cooks throw away their garlic, they don't stir their polenta, and they never labor over pans of risotto. But they do make enormous meatballs that are tender and light, and occasionally break all the rules when making pasta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The editors at Milk Street have spent years scouring small eateries, local markets, farms, and home kitchens from Lombardia to Calabria and from Sardinia to Sicily in search of fresh takes on classic recipes, as well as little-known regional favorites that never crossed the Atlantic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On our travels we found new ways with pasta, from \u003cb\u003efoolproof cacio e pepe\u003c\/b\u003e in Rome to Puglia's \u003cb\u003eolive-oil crisped fettuccine with chickpeas\u003c\/b\u003e and a \u003cb\u003elemony pesto\u003c\/b\u003e from Amalfi, where the pasta itself is enriched with citrus. Plus some surprising tomato sauces, including \u003cb\u003espaghetti all'assassina\u003c\/b\u003e from Bari--spicy, charred, and made in one skillet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We visited a Neapolitan trattoria where five sisters serenade diners with opera and serve an \u003cb\u003eeggplant Parmesan\u003c\/b\u003e that's rich, but never fried. In Northern Italy, we made meatball-like \u003cb\u003ebread dumplings simmered in chicken broth\u003c\/b\u003e. And in Sardinia, \u003cb\u003ea hearty herb soup\u003c\/b\u003e studded with pancetta, beans and tiny nuggets of pasta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMilk Street Backroads Italy\u003c\/i\u003e gives you a seat at the table with Italian cooks sharing the food they love, handed down from generation to generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Kimball, J.
