Has it ever happened to you that you received a call from some friends to announce that they are showing up for an impromptu dinner? It is usually a problem. But we are used to this type of custom. In fact, this custom makes us proud of ourselves because it bears witness of a true and informal friendship.

But you have to be ready. What you need first is a spacious freezer where to store several base ingredients that you can combine and... a bit of creativity.

• Linguine agli scampi
• Dumplings with mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower
• Fusilli melenzane e salsiccia
• Sea prawn linguine
• Handmade fusilli with sausage and rucola (rocket)
• Neapolitan-style home made pizza
