Calabrian cuisine is primarily a diet of simple fresh pastas, homegrown vegetables cooked in a myriad of ways, and meats, particularly pork. Although pasta is important to all Italians, in Calabria it is treated with an almost reverence. Each city or town has it's own pasta specialties, from chewy fusilli, to various types of lasagne. Calabrians seem to know by instinct, the best sauce to pair with each pasta to create the most delicious dishes.
