Italian Recipes

• Sardinia is famous for its lamb and pecorino (cheese made from sheep's milk).
  
  
• Arab influence played an important part in the development of Sicilian cuisine, including the introduction of lemon and pistachio. Sicily is also known for its seafood, particularly swordfish and tuna, but it is in desserts where the island has had the greatest influence of all: both gelato (ice cream) and granita (a delicious semi-frozen dessert made using sugar, water and flavorings) originate from Sicily.
  
  
• Calabria (the region corresponding to the "toe" of Italy) is known for its spicy version of salami.
  
  
• Naples is the home of mozzarella, pizza and sfogliatelle (Italian filled pastries).
  
  
  
• Whereas Sicilian and Neopolitan pizzas are quite thick, Roman pizzas extremely thin. Rome is also known for its use of offal and pecorino (cheese made from sheep's milk).
  
  
• Tuscany is known for its meat, white beans and unsalted bread.
  
  
• Products from the North of Italy include balsamic vinegar, lasagna, mortadella (a heat-cured pork sausage, served as a cold cut) parmigiano (parmesan cheese) polenta (a dish made from boiled corn-meal), prosciutto (dry cured ham), ragu (bolognese sauce), rice and tortellini (stuffed pasta). Piedmont and Lombardy both produce their own distinctive (and different from each other) variety of rice, and both forms are used to make risotto.
