Ready to spin

Press Spin and the wheel picks one dish.

The wheel is ready. Spin it, or open another kind of food from the list above.

How a pick is made. Every slice is equally likely. The spin uses your browser's secure random number generator, so a result cannot be steered and earlier spins do not change the next one. Dishes you mark as eaten are taken off the wheel for seven days, and that list stays on this device only.

Pasta, risotto and baked dishes in the Italian home-cooking style.

Every dish on the italian wheel

  • Spaghetti carbonaraSpaghetti with egg, hard cheese, black pepper and cured pork. Rich and creamy without any cream.
  • LasagnaLayers of pasta sheets, meat sauce and cheese baked until the top browns. Heavy, comforting and good for sharing.
  • Margherita pizzaThin pizza with tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil. The simplest and most classic of the pizzas.
  • Mushroom risottoShort-grain rice stirred slowly in stock until creamy, finished with mushrooms and cheese.
  • Fettuccine alfredoWide ribbon pasta in a sauce of butter, cream and Parmesan. Smooth and mild.
  • Tagliatelle bologneseSlow-cooked meat and tomato ragù over flat egg noodles. Deep, savory and a little sweet.
  • Potato gnocchiSoft potato dumplings tossed with butter and sage, tomato sauce or pesto. Pillowy and filling.
  • Caprese saladSliced tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil with olive oil. Cold, light and best when tomatoes are ripe.
  • Penne arrabbiataPenne in a spicy tomato sauce with garlic and chili. Quick to cook and sharp in flavor.
  • MinestroneA thick vegetable and bean soup, often with small pasta. A warm, simple meal that reheats well.

How to settle it

For Italian, decide sauce first: tomato, cream, oil or meat. The pasta shape is the second choice and matters less than people think.

The wheel holds 10 dishes, so each has a one-in-10 chance on a fresh wheel. As you mark dishes as eaten they come off for seven days, and the odds of the rest go up.
