What's your favourite Italian dish? A piping hot lasagne with crusty garlic bread? How about a sumptuous spaghetti bolognese? When you want to cook something special for friends or family, explore the textures and flavours of Italian cuisine with the help of this good old-fashioned cooking pot.

The cornerstone of authentic Italian food is pasta, which has always been easy to cook, but a nightmare to drain. Not any more. With this specially designed pan, you'll be putting together Italian meals with the panache of a pro Italian chef.

The key is in the secure, locking strainer lid, which has been designed to stay in place while the pan is upturned, making spilt vermicelli or farfalle a thing of the past.

It couldn't be easier. Set your pasta to boil while the sauce is bubbling. Once cooked, drain the pasta in seconds, and mix with the sauce. Then relax with an Italian lager or a glass of chianti while it warms through.

Quick, and easy. Not that you need to tell your guests that.
