I love food from Italy, or Italian cuisine!
me too! I'm all about pizza and pasta :)
Pasta, vegetables, olive oil and fish are all a major part of Italian cuisine. I'd assume pizza is too.
fish? i didn't think Italians eat a lot of fish
They actually do! They use shrimp in many of their pastas along with calamari. They also make many pastas with clam sauce.
that's really interesting. I didn't know that! I've never even heard of clam sauce
Clam sauce
Clam sauce is a topping for pasta, usually linguine. The two most popular varieties are white, usually featuring minced clams, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and parsley, or red, usually a thin tomato sauce with minced clams. Other variants include the incorporation of whole clams, hot pepper flakes and other ingredients. Clam juice may be used in the preparation of clam sauce.
