Blog Post #3 Italy

In Italian traditional cooking, there is one type of food that is omnipresent. In nearly every meal, if not part of the main course, it is part of the side dish. Pasta! A simple food to make, yet nearly every Italian loves it. It has been around for almost 1000 years, and has been implemented in nearly every traditional Italian dish. Pasta is made of flour, egg, salt, and water. As you can clearly see, there is nothing complicated about the ingredients. This made it easy to produce for poor Italian families, and the food has been popular ever since. Because pasta is so easy to make, there is not any worries of it running out soon. Over the years, pasta has become a large economy, as there are high demands for fresh pasta, as well as dried pasta. Regardless, there is no doubt that pasta, along with the wide variety of sauces and dishes that it accompanies, will be a staple of Italian cuisine for a long time in the future.
