What cooking techniques are commonly used in Italian cuisine?

Italian cuisine commonly uses techniques such as simmering ingredients in wine or broth, braising meats and vegetables, sautéing or frying foods in butter or olive oil, grilling, and roasting. Italian cooks also developed a wide variety of pasta shapes and refined pasta-making techniques that help different sauces cling to the noodles.
