Americans love Italian food and so they should. The history of Italy and the cuisine reputation was established more than 2,000 years ago. From the Roman Empire movement onward, cultural food preparation was very important and the spread of Italian food began its long march and has evolved through the years! The culinary history of Italy has cross-cultural currents of the people and the societies from over thousands of years that have defined Italian cuisine.
From pasta to pizza to antipasti these popular dishes associated with Italian food have become a mainstay in American cuisine. The many unique cooking techniques have come into our existence mixing new ideas with old and thus making Italian dishes with the freshest ingredients available. Cheese and wine or a major part of the cuisine with of course, many variations.
The common ingredients in Italian cuisine vary from fruits, vegetables, sauces, and meats. Different regions of Italy may have used more fish, sausage, pork and different types of cheeses. For Instance in Northern Italy you will find many kinds of stuffed pasta, polenta and risotto. In the traditional central part of Italy the cuisine uses ingredients that feature tomatoes, all kinds of meats, fish and pecorino cheese. In the region of Tuscany pasta, and especially parpadelle is served with meat sauce. Southern Italy you are more inclined to see the use of tomatoes, fresh and cooked in their tomato sauce. Peppers, olives, olive oil, garlic, artichokes, capers, ricotta cheese, eggplants, zucchini and anchovies, sardines and tuna are important ingredients to this local cuisine.
