I just finished dinner.  I had authentic Italian ravioli with a traditional pasta sauce. 
Wow, that sounds delicious! Did you make it yourself? 
No. I had dinner at a neighbor's house.  The best I can do is do it from a can of Prego from Campbell's Soup.  It is nowhere near the same.
Haha, the Prego is great when you don't feel like cooking though. Do you like other times of Italian cooking?
I do.  I particularly enjoy fettuccine.  Italian food is one of the most replicated foods in the world. It is very popular.   
Yeah it is! I've made some different types of pastas myself. I made a type made from potatoes before called gnocchi, and also regular noodles. 
Sounds delicious.  Fettuccine was a creation of Alfredo Di Lelio in the mid 20th century and then found its way to the U.S
Man I love fettuccine too! Was garlic bread Italian also or was that an American creation?
. The bread is then stuffed through the cuts with oil and minced garlic before baking. Alternatively, butter and garlic powder are used, or the bread is cut lengthwise into separate slices which are individually garnished.
Some variants are topped with a variety of cheeses, often mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar or feta. Some restaurants use clarified butter in place of olive oil.
History.
Garlic bread stems from bruschetta, which appeared in Italy around the 15th century, and can be traced back to Ancient Rome.
a shift towards a more meditative body of work. Of this shift, Nara said, "In the past I would have an image that I wanted to create, and I would just do it. I would just get it finished. Now I take my time and work slowly and build up all these layers to find the best way. Just like you cook so that you know it’s going to be the most delicious, you find a way to make your art the best it can be."
