I mean, Italian food really is brilliant, they really just over time took all the best things they found and just made great food with it and left out everything else.
It's sort of crazy to think about how delicious a recipe with four ingredients can be until you realize they're four of the most delicious things on the planet.
It's like Japanese food: protein and or produce of your choice, soy sauce, sake, mirin, dashi. Maybe miso. Combine ingredients to your preference.
Italian recipes tend to let the quality of the produce do the talking. There's no making cheap stuff work by seasoning the hell out of it, so it has to be quality fresh stuff. Fresh herbs, good cheese, quality tomatoes, etc.
