Dishes of Italian cuisine have long and justifiably earned worldwide recognition. Nevertheless, Italian cuisine is not only pizza and pasta, as is commonly believed. When people think about the most delicious and popular dishes invented by Italians, most often they come to mind lasagna, tiramisu, tortellini or spaghetti. In fact, the concept of Italian cuisine includes a huge number of amazing dishes with an amazing and unforgettable taste. Let's see which of the Italian dishes are the most famous and check whether you have tried all of them or if you still have something to strive for.

Prosciutto

Parma ham, also known as prosciutto. Prosciutto, as a rule, is served as a snack or as a part of cold cuts before lunch or dinner. Italians love to put this product on slices of bread or grissini (grissini - bread sticks). In the summer, the inhabitants of sunny Italy do not deny themselves the pleasure of enjoying prosciutto with watermelon on skewers, as well as this type of ham with honey, which together gives an amazing combination of sweet and salty.

Minestrone Soup (Minestrone)

A huge number of different soups based on legumes, vegetables, potatoes, pasta or rice. Among the ingredients that are invariably present in all kinds of minestrone are onions, legumes, carrots, tomatoes and celery. This dish is served to the table as a first or as an alternative to risotto or pasta.

Ravioli

Small pasta dumplings with a wide variety of fillings. Given the wide selection of ravioli species, it is not surprising that this Italian dish is very popular around the world.

Parmesan Chicken

Chicken Parmigiana (Chicken Parmigiana) - a truly classic dish of Italian cuisine, which has gained special fame in the United States of America. And no wonder: the amazing chicken will not leave anyone indifferent.

Gelato

Gelato (Gelato) - the original and perhaps the sweetest product of Italian cuisine is very popular among tourists who come to Italy. And rightly so: the taste of a real Italian gelato can not be compared with any ice cream.

Parmesan Cheese

Did you know that in Italy (as well as throughout Europe) Parmigiano cheese is protected by copyright. It is forbidden to produce outside of Parma (Parma). The product receives a quality certificate only after 12 months, having undergone a thorough examination of specialists. It is worth noting that this type of cheese served to create a unique profession for the listener of cheese.

Risotto

Many people remember pasta when they think about Italian cuisine, but in addition to pasta, rice also reigns in this country. Risotto, like pasta, is one of the most popular and beloved Italian dishes.

Lasagna

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish made with parmesan, ham, mozzarella, ricotta and beef.

Spaghetti

Whatever country you go to, you will find spaghetti everywhere. Despite the existence of numerous types of pasta, pasta is perhaps the most preferred. It is relatively inexpensive, it is easy to prepare, it is presented in many versions.

Pizza


What other dish of Italian cuisine comes first if not pizza? One amazing fact about this dish: real Italian pizza does not contain a lot of cheese and tomato paste. Pizza is so firmly entrenched in the life of Italians that they often eat it as a snack before eating.
