Pasta for everyone. or maybe just for me. and maybe Jacqueline ;) every night! Have I really consumed pasta every night? and the answer is…YES and I love it! Maybe there was pizza thrown in there a few nights, who knows? Molto Benisimo! I have had so many different dishes that have all been exquisite.
The Italian Culture eats very different from the American Culture. The usually have an Antipasti like an appetizer such as Bruschetta (my favorite) or salami or a salad. The salad is usually just green lettuce with oil and vinegar. Then there is the first course, which is usually a pasta dish, such as the ones below that have made up my diet. The second course is next, which is usually meat or fish. A side dish is also included which can be potatoes or vegetables. And we cannot forget…dessert! Common desserts are gelato or tiramisu. All the dishes are served by themselves. For instance; if you were to get a hamburger and french fries the hamburger would be served on a separate plate than the French fries. You get the idea.
The following are pastas which I have consumed:
-Farfalle (bowtie)
-Pici (fat spaghetti)
-Spaghetti
-Ravioli (my favorite so far)
-Pene
-Penette (mini pene)
-Tagliatelle (similar to fettucini)
-Gnocci (dumplings)
-and I am sure there will be more to come…
