ITALIAN food can bring out the romance during any date night.

But things are now hotting up thanks to Angelo Coassin, aka @cookingwithbello, who is giving Italian dishes a sexy twist with his new book Cook Like A Real Italian.

If you haven’t seen his cookalong videos, you are in for a treat – trust us!

From primi to secondi courses, and everything in between, there is a feast of classics to enjoy, such as the recipe for his mum’s meatballs, as well as the intriguing TikTok-inspired penne alla vodka.

But it’s not all pizza and pasta.

We are loving Angelo’s desserts and even cocktails to set the mood.

Here, Kirsty Spence brings you some easy recipes from Angelo’s book, which are so much fun to make and even more enjoyable to share. Buon appetito . . .
