Trivia
Known as ‘pignata’ in Italian, the word refers to a terracotta pot, still fairly widespread throughout Italy, although perhaps today you may prefer using an aluminium pan or other more modern cookware. It is interesting, however, to rediscover terracotta cooking equipment, as it is well-suited for long cooking times and outstanding for preserving and enhancing the flavours.
