Rome, the capital of Italy, has the most delicious food. First, let’s talk about pasta, that is, pasta. I believe many of my friends have seen pasta that looks like this.

The one in the middle should be the more famous Spaghetti. This kind of long pasta is the most famous one. The most well-known and most common type of pasta, according to different thicknesses, it is divided into spaghetti, thin spaghetti and angel hair (somewhat similar to the names of Lanzhou beef noodles, Erxi and Dakuan), among which angel hair is The thinnest of the three, usually dry instant angel hair can be cooked in four or five minutes, while spaghetti, which is thicker, takes more than ten minutes.

How is pasta made? It is actually very simple. It is the same as the noodles we eat in China. It is made from flour. However, pasta usually requires a lot of egg yolk, so the color is golden. The yellow one looks great. In addition to the above three kinds of pasta, I usually have access to pasta, including Fettuccine, Pappardelle, Penne, and Farfalle.

You can search their pictures by yourself. I think the last farfalle is the prettiest. The shape of the bow is very interesting, but regardless of the shape, the pasta method will not change in general. , and different shapes are suitable for different sauces and side dishes, it will take a long time to talk about it, let’s not mention it for now.

2 Now that we have introduced pasta, let’s briefly talk about Italian pizza. There are many types of pizza, such as big and thin New York pizza, Chicago deep dish pizza (similar to a huge pie, super thick) , a lot of tomato and cheese in it), and the frozen American pizza in the supermarket (a lot of sauce, olive, ham on the surface), but these cannot be said to be truly Italian pizza, so what is Italian pizza?

3 Risotto, Risotto If you like Italian food, then risotto must be a very, very famous dish. It is similar to Chinese glutinous rice and Korean bibimbap, but the preparation method is more complicated. The taste is also a bit stickier. Risotto di mare (seafood risotto) Italian seafood risotto seafood risotto should be a relatively famous Italian dish. It is also very similar to Spanish seafood risotto, but risotto has a creamier and softer texture, while Spanish risotto is harder. .

The most basic way to make white risotto is very troublesome. First, stir-fry small onions (shallot), celery (the whiter, tender part), and carrots in a pot, and then add risotto rice. Then add white wine, wait for the alcohol to evaporate, add chicken broth or vegetable broth, until the risotto rice almost swells and reaches the required cooking time, turn off the heat, add a piece of butter, stir evenly, and add extra virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil on the surface. Cheese (usually parmesan) will do.

The whole process is very cumbersome. Not counting the time for making chicken stock, it also takes close to 20 minutes. During these 20 minutes, you have to keep stirring until the rice takes shape, so generally speaking, the charge is higher for one dish, and Italian food that really tests your cooking skills.
