Food / / December 19, 2019
Foreign dishes are often adapted to the traditions of other countries, and Italian cuisine is no exception. We are so accustomed to innovations in recipes that consider them initially Mediterranean. But the Italians are categorically against!
Adding carbonara cream
Nest of spaghetti and bacon, which is heated yolk - a favorite pasta Italian cuisine in our area. And it is complemented by local chefs recipe mistakeFrom which his head grabs any self-respecting Italian. Fat from the bacon, egg yolks, olive oil and Parmesan cheese in a paste enough, so she did not need cream. People, pampered by the sun all year round, do not understand our urge to accumulate fat for the winter. And because innovation in the cream as they did not approve of in Carbonare.
Like many Italian dishes, the recipe Carbonara coined of the products that were available in every small farmer. Eggs, bacon, butter - the basic set. But the cream can afford not everyone. If anyone had a cow, its milk in the first place went to the production of Parmesan cheese instead of cream.

Wrong selection of pasta
The Italians have come up with 176 types of pasta, not because they were bored. Each pasta is better than another is suitable to a particular set of products. For example, cheese sauce is perfect for farfalle. When the dish has cooled slightly, cheese stick not to the plate, and will remain in the hollows of macaroni "butterflies". To the sauce with minced meat is best to boil the penne meat stuffed in the hole tubes and does not remain on the plate. Fatty sauces, except cheese, should be combined with pasta: they are perfectly distributed along the entire length of pasta.
Parmesan fish dishes
Parmesan - a standalone product and the main seasoning in Italian table. In a good restaurant, or during a home dinner will be served it with salt and pepper. But here at the table hung an awkward pause, the waiter dropped a tray of loudly, and the cook is sharpening a huge knife? You may have had the temerity to sprinkle parmesan dish of fish. Should not have done. The Italians are very sensitive to the combination of flavors of dishes, highlighting among them the one leading. Tastes of fish and parmesan will compete in the dish, and harmonious couples here does not work. But the chef was trying so hard!
Strong taste of cheese really distorts the complex flavor of the fish. But the kitchen is not in place. It develops the sake of fashion and new trends. The fish might be served with cheese. Make sure that the dish prepared an experienced cook, who was able to calculate all the changes the taste of fish with the addition of cheese in it, and presented them to the best advantage.

with components bust
Italian cuisine is wonderful simplicity, so prepare your meals is easy. You only need to know which foods give the successful combination, and which do not fit at all. Tomato, mozzarella and basil salad, minced meat, tomato paste and spaghetti pasta. You do not need anything extra - it will spoil the magic of Italian perfection of simplicity. Three main ingredient of any Italian dishes - olio, aglio, peperoncino (oil, garlic, hot peppers) - enough to supplement the pair of main components, and everything is ready.
Frivolous attitude toward time
Feature availability pasta "al denteĀ» (al dente - the tooth) in Italian cuisine is just as important as the presence on the table Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic and pepper. Noodles do not cook on the principle of ravioli - pops up, and then another 10 minutes. Otherwise, you will not pasteAnd pasta nautically.
Every Italian pasta has its own cooking time. It must be indicated on the packaging.
Ignoring these rules is to deny yourself the gastronomic pleasure from properly cooked Italian dishes. Feeling a little hard paste to the teeth - a mandatory part of Italian cuisine.
As you can see, nothing complicated. On the contrary, the main thing in Italian cuisine - not to complicate. And you often met such errors cuisine of the Apennines?
