Starts with a short but informative introduction to northern Italian food, including why it's different from southern Italian, what ingredients are heavily used, and how it's been influenced by nearby cuisines.The creamy northern-style spaghetti is so simple to make, but wow--I think I might be non-traditional and add some peas and mushrooms when I make it next, but it's great as-is.Lots of other great dishes in here, most of which are fast and easy.  I'm dying to make the tangerine marmalade, which will be a little more complicated, but marmalade is one of my favorite jams and I've never had it made with anything but regular oranges.If you're interested in exploring this cuisine with minimal effort, Moretti's book is a great place to start.
