Italian cuisine: What Is It?

Traditional Italian dishes and ingredients are what make up Italian cuisine. While pasta, PIZZA in Tanjong Pagar, and cheeses are commonplace across the nation, each region has distinctive foods that have influenced Italian cuisine.

 

Traditional Italian Dishes

Italian appetizers, main courses, and desserts differ by area, yet all Italian cuisine adheres to the same tenet: straightforward recipes made with high-quality ingredients. Below are 14 regional Italian specialities.

 

Italian-style risotto. The lush plains of the Po Valley in northern Italy are where rice is primarily grown. It was introduced to Sicily by the Moors in the thirteenth century. In a saffron-flavoured broth and white wine, arborio or carnerollo rice is cooked before sprinkling with parmesan cheese.

 

Polenta. Stone-ground maize is used to make polenta, which is then stirred into broth or boiling water until thick—typically in a copper kettle. Butter, black pepper, and parmesan are added to traditional polenta. Learn how to prepare the creamy polenta recipe from Chef Thomas Keller here.

Lasagna. Ricotta cheese, tomato or meat sauce, and lasagne noodles are piled in this traditional Neapolitan meal, which is baked with mozzarella cheese.

 

Ravioli. Pasta ripieno, or stuffed pasta, includes ravioli. They are eaten with sauce and consist of square or round pasta shapes encasing a flavorful filling, such as ricotta cheese and herbs.
