5Pajata (Veal Intestines)

Pajata may seem unusual to the uninitiated, yet it is a revered delicacy in Rome.

This dish features the intestines of unweaned calves cooked in a stew with tomato sauce. The intestines are prized for their creamy texture, which results from the presence of partially digested milk consumed by the calves. Pajata is often served with rigatoni, creating a dish that is both creamy and rich in flavor.
