Italian food is one of the most loved cuisines across the world. Hugely popular outside its country of origin, Italian chefs has managed to maintain the same flavour and enthusiasm for food by keeping the following points in mind while they cook.
Italian food always tastes a lot better when made with fresh ingredients. Frozen ingredients or ingredients out of a supermarket where they may well be approaching their expiry date are not acceptable. Also, to maximise the impact that your ingredients can have on your recipe, ensure that what you put in is ripe.
Learn to improvise. One of the key things to remember when you decide to cook Italian food is that there is almost always a viable substitute for an ingredient that is not available when you are cooking. For example, using fettuccini in a recipe that traditionally calls for spaghetti is not a bad idea at all.
Look to save time and resources. Most Italian chefs today will tell you, that there is no honour lost if you decide to buy the spaghetti you use from a supermarket, rather than make it yourself. While making it from scratch is also well worth it, if you are hard pressed for time, move on and see how best you can minimise time wasted. Also never throw away an ingredient that might live to see another day and add that extra flavour to a dish you might make tomorrow.
Learn everything you can about pasta, which is practically a must have at any Italian dinner table. As far as possible, remember to use fresh garlic when you experiment with Italian cooking. Cheese is another big player on the Italian cooking circuit, so it is advisable to learn as much as you can about the different kinds of cheese and the dishes that they best complement.
The ingredients are essential in Italian cooking and using olive oil (preferably extra virgin olive oil) rather than margarine or butter is key. This combined with let us say fresh cherry tomatoes rather than tinned tomatoes and then being sure not to overcook the pasta (which is a mistake many people make) means overall a decent pasta dish. A glass of red Italian wine makes for a great addition but keep to one glass and not one bottle.
Cooking is an art form almost, for many Italian cooks and you can acquire a taste for olive oil and many ingredients, even if you do not take to them immediately. Pursue, practice and make cooking tasty and healthy food a habit rather than a treat.
