I’m not sure I remember all of the details, but this excellent Setaro Penne Rigate from Buon Italia took very well to the minimal addition of a bit of spring garlic from Lani’s Farm, some crushed dried Calabresi peperoncino secchia, also from Buon Italia, a small handful of red-vein sorrel from Norwich Meadows Farm, and some shaved Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse, again from Buon Italia

• the wine was an Italian (Campania) white, Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2016, from
• the music, heard streaming on Yle Klassinen, was the seasonal album, ‘Tomás Luis de Victoria: La fiesta de Pascua en Piazza Navona’ (we enjoyed the meal on the night before Easter Sunday, and the music was inspired by 17th-century Easter celebrations in the Piazza Navona in Rome)
