In Italy, tradition is key to their culture. Their traditions include Traditional Italian Cuisine! Ingredients such as meat, cheese, and fish. Pasta is a huge part of Italians culture--its one of the most popular dishes. The great thing about pasta is all the different types of sauces you can make with it or meats that you can mix with it such as a cheesy rigatoni, pecan pesto shells with sausage, and bucatini with marinara and ricotta. These are some fancy dishes served all throughout Italy or made in homes. A very common Italian dish is spaghetti and meatballs. Although Spaghetti and meatballs is not completely an Italian meal it is considered to be an American-Italian cuisine due to it being made by Italians over in america once they migrated to America in the 1800s due to the economy leaving places in Italy impoverished.

My family typically has pasta 2-3 times a week. I definitely agree that pasta is a staple food in the Italian culture. There are so many different types of pasta. I remember making spaghetti with my grandma when I was growing up!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you elaborated how there are more pasta dishes other than spaghetti and meatballs! There is so much that you can do with pasta and I agree that it is very popular in Italy!
