Sent headlong into the boiling water
Pasta long and thin took a bit of a hot bath
As it did, the concoction it was being served with
Gradually came together, as minced beef met up in a
Hot tomato jacuzzi with onion , carrot and mushroom
Eventually,
Turned out onto plates and sauce and pasta
Twirled together round a trident aided by a spoon
Italian cuisine turned out on Mancunian plates
Hiding in plain sight on your pizza
Innocent looking vegetable, scattered among the pepperoni
Divided by red onion and tomatoes, that ain’t no sweet pepper!
Devilish kick, and a rise in heat
Encapsulating the tongue
No wonder you’re sweating.
give me a taste of italy
wi fresh pasta, tomatoes and herbs
make that sauce sing
serve it up with
grated Parmesan and lemon
and juicy green olives
taking me to Napoli or Bologna
without the need of a plane ticket
Salford 13th April 2018
Bella Italia , Lowry outlet mall, Salford Quays
Take a pizza base
Make it nice and thick
Cover it in the richest tomatoes
You can lay your hands on
Red bell peppers and juicy onions
add meats of your choosing
Or even more veg
Throw in a little pesto if you wish
But don’t forget the cheese
Fold it up like a Cornish pastie
And let it catch a Neapolitan tan
Before cracking open it’s golden crust as
treasures are uncovered and steam released
Releasing the tasty fillings that lie inside
Pasta
