Pasta, Pasta & More Pasta!

There are approximately 350 different types of pasta around the world. With so many different types of pasta, there are also so many different pasta dishes. With a plethora of choices, how do you know when to use which kind?

●     Shells - Used in a variety of settings, and varying in size, you can do anything from stuff them, to using them in meat sauce, to using them in casseroles, and more!
●     Angel Hair - Similar to spaghetti, but on a much thinner scale, this pasta is great with light tomato sauces or even just cooked with butter and oil.
●     Penne - This tube-shaped pasta, which is about two inches in length and cut slanted at both ends, makes it perfect for a sauce bed and toppings.
●     Ravioli - A pillow-like pasta that is commonly stuffed with meats, cheeses, veggies and more, and served covered with sauce.
●     Farfalle - Actually, the Italian word for butterfly, farfalle is also known as bowtie pasta. This pasta is great for, and frequently used in cold pasta salads, but can also be used to dress up a warm bowl of meats and vegetables.

Pasta is Nothing Without The Sauce

No matter what kind of pasta you prefer, there is a multitude of different types of sauces to go with it! Every single sauce is different and amazingly delicious in its unique way. Not to mention, nothing is better than authentic Italian pasta sauce!

●     Alfredo - A simple, yet truly delicious pasta sauce that is literally made of nothing but butter, cream, and cheese. 
●     Primavera - Meaning "Spring" in Italian, Primavera is a sauce that consists of spring vegetables. A very typical primavera sauce is made of garlic, peas, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and asparagus.
●     Pomodoro - Pomodoro means “tomato sauce,” and is commonly mistaken for marinara sauce. This is a thick and smooth tomato sauce with just a hint of garlic and a bunch of oregano! A true Italian classic.
●     Pesto - Pesto usually is green in color and can be made in many different varieties. One option is a nutty, cheesy, basil pesto; other types consist of mint, avocado, kale, and more.
●     Amatriciana - This Italian classic is made with Guanciale and Pecorino, which is pork cheeks and sheep milk cheese. However, Guanciale is extremely expensive and hard to procure in America.

The Three Meals of Italian Christmas

Image
Twas the week before Christmas and Italian families were preparing for their traditional Feasts of Natale (feasts of Christmas). In Italy, families plan for at least two dinners - one on Christmas Eve and the next on Christmas Day. Often, there’s a third lunch planned for the day after Christmas - the Day of Santo Stefano - which is really just a day of leftovers. More distant family members and friends gather on December 26th for a less formal, more relaxing meal. For those who choose not to cook over the Christmas holidays but who want to experience a delicious traditional Italian meal, Mia’s Italian Restaurant on International Drive provides authentic Italian catering Orlando FL raves about.

You’ll Be Stunned to Learn that These Italian Dishes Were Made in America

Who would have guessed that Spaghetti and Meatballs isn’t a traditional Italian dish or that “Italian” dressing was invented in Massachusetts? In fact, many of the foods considered to be Italian classics aren’t consumed in Italy at all. For example, Italians wouldn’t dream of adding chicken to their pasta (pasta courses are served without meat), and the very Italian-sounding Cioppino - or fish stew - was created in San Francisco by Italian-American fishermen. Italian Wedding Soup doesn’t include pasta, and there’s no such thing as “garlic bread” prepared by slathering garlic butter on a toasted baguette. Bruschetta , however, is served by the slice and made by brushing olive oil on toasted ciabatta. Here are some other “Italian” dishes that aren’t actually served in Italy: ●      Baked Ziti ●      Pasta with Vodka Sauce ●      Chicken Parmesan ●      Pizza topped with Pepperoni ● ...
