Our Favorite Tomato Pasta Sauce Recipe



After a day of exploring all things Italian, there’s nothing better than coming home to a plate of pasta with a rich tomato-based sauce.

Over the years, we’ve tried countless pasta sauces, and I think Maria and I (well, mostly Maria, actually 100% Maria) have perfected the recipe!

It is now a regular in our household. Simple yet bursting with flavor, it’s the kind of dish that will transport you right back to Italy with every bite. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Understanding the New EES and ETIAS Rules



Planning your next Italian trip? Then you’ll need to be aware of the new EES and ETIAS rules that will soon affect how travelers enter the Schengen zone.

While these new systems might seem daunting, we’ve broken it down to make things easier. From understanding what the rules entail to how to prepare, our article covers everything you need to know for smooth travel in 2025 and beyond.


Whether you’re dreaming of Italy, planning your next trip, or just whipping up a plate of pasta at home, I hope you find something here to inspire you.

Grazie mille for being part of our community.

Ciao,
Andrew (and of course, Maria & William)

P.S. Fall is a great time to start planning your next Italian adventure! 😊
