Mino, my husband is a chef. He has over 30 years experience and has worked all over Europe,we have in the past had our own restaurants, he in the kitchen and me front of house. We did this for quite a few years, this was before we got ourselves involved with animals.
They are still most often served as dishes in their own right, rather than accompaniments. Pasta with potaoes(pasta patate), Pasta with cauliflower(pasta con cavolo fiori), Rice with artichokes(carcofi con riso),these are just very few of such vegetable dishes.
