The gastronomy in Calabria is based on sharp taste. The influence is reflected by many different cultures which during the centuries have immigrated to the region. The pasta is usually self-made, and the sauces are generally made of beef, pork, lamb or veal with tomato submerged in pure olive oil, refined with spicy red pepper. There are many different specific types of pasta, eg filatelle, fileja, scialatelle, lagane and cavatelli. To make the fileja for example, the dough is rolled into short ropes.
