Pasta is a staple here, made fresh with water and semolina or cornflour. It is prepared, in what Italians will tell you, 100,000 ways. Red peppers are grown everywhere here and folks visiting will generally see them hanging out to dry at most households. It is used very often in the food here to add flavor and spice.
