Italian classics, rethought by Jamie Oliver and therefore easy to reproduce away from Italy: instead of sweet ground tomatoes, you can take a semi-finished product of pelati from a can, any simple table wine will do for the sauce , the main thing is that it is white and dry, instead of fresh thyme and bay leaf, it is not shameful to sprinkle dried Italian herbs from an industrial mill. Even pre-cooked broth can be neglected. The union of smoked bacon with herbs and a pinch of cinnamon can give the stewed turkey such a full-bodiedness that no one will guess that the lack of broth was replenished with water. An important trick - at the end, do not forget to splash a couple of spoons of water from the pan left over from cooking the pasta itself into the sauce, it will give the sauce a starchy viscosity. According to Italian habit, it is better to serve cheese separately - let everyone control how much to add to their plate.
