Pizza Margherita
Quick answer
Pizza Margherita is the Neapolitan pizza of tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil, baked in a very hot wood-fired oven.
A soft, high-hydration dough is stretched by hand, topped sparingly and baked around 60–90 seconds, producing a puffy, charred cornicione.
The Neapolitan pizza-making art was added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2017.

Sausage on the Runway
Fashion week goes full Italian: couture racks backstage, a chili-pepper gown on the catwalk, and Uncle Larry closing the show in a SAUSAGE tee to a standing ovation and a confetti storm.
Quick answer
How do you make sausage, peppers and potatoes in one pan?
Use waxy potatoes cut into three-quarter-inch chunks and give them a 15-minute head start at 425°F before the peppers and sausage join them. Total roast time is about 45 minutes. Toss the potatoes in oil separately so they crisp rather than steam.
