There are many wonderful traditional dishes in Italy, but perhaps nothing can sum up the essence of Italian cooking better than Naples pizza. With a long history, simple, fresh and high-quality ingredients, we will jointly create the most perfect and authentic pizza.
Pisa in Naples was invented between 18 and 19 century. It is basically a flat bread sprinkled with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and virgin olive oil. It sounds simple, but in fact, making real Neapolitan pizza is an art, not just three or four simple ingredients.
Tomatoes must be planted in volcanic soil in the small town of sarno, San Marzano, near Naples. Dough must be made by hand with specific flour. Italian Mediterranean buffalo cheese D.O.C. Mozzarella di Buffala campana is only produced in limited areas. In addition, this pizza must be baked in a wood-burning oven, using two kinds of wood, 900 degrees, 60-90 seconds. This kind of pizza is beyond the reach of the American delegation.
There are three official versions of Neapolitan pizza, among which margarita pizza is the most famous. It is said that Queen Margarita of Italy visited Naples on 1889, and then pizza producer Rafael esposito made this pizza according to the color of the Italian flag to show his respect. I don't know if the legend is true or not, but the combination of red tomato, white cheese and green basil leaves of margarita pizza is still one of the most popular pizzas.
Lasagna spaghetti
Spaghetti is one of the oldest pasta in the world. Whether it was invented in Naples in the Middle Ages or originated in ancient Greece is still controversial. But what is certain is that lasagna is one of the must-eat foods in Italy.
Musician is an exaggeration. It is made by stacking several pieces of dough as big as handkerchiefs, putting Boloni sauce and Parmesan cheese between each layer, then sprinkling a lot of cheese on it and baking. The lasagna baked on the table looks unremarkable, but if it goes down across the board, the thick layer is rich in content. Cheese and meat sauce are slowly squeezed out of the dough, sprinkled with a little pepper, full of happiness! No wonder Garfield likes lasagna best and eats so fat.
Lasagna can also be filled with different fillings, such as meatballs, sausages, spinach, whey cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Stewed calf leg Osobuco
There are slow-fire stewed beef dishes in many parts of the world, and the stewed calf leg in Milan is one of them. It is made of veal, white wine, broth and vegetables by slow fire. The traditional formula was born in an old shop near Milan at the end of 19. It is not a tomato, but is made of gremolata (a fresh condiment made of lemon peel, garlic and parsley). The modern version uses tomatoes, carrots, onions and celery.
Osobuco means "bone with holes" in Italian, which means that the bone marrow in the leg bone is the essence of this dish. Enjoy this dish in Milan with the classic Milan saffron risotto.
Ice cream Italian ice cream
I used to eat so-called Italian ice cream in Singapore, but I didn't like it very much. But I can't stop eating gelato in Italy! Eat it every day, every city or town! Food that belongs to phenomenal level.
The Italians didn't invent ice cream first, but in the past few centuries, they really perfected this delicious food. The history of Italian ice cream can be traced back to the Renaissance. It is said that it was invented by Bernardo Buontalenti, an architect and designer in Florence, or Cosimo Ruggieri, an alchemist at the Medici Palace in Florence.
