Noodles are also often made fresh and then eaten soon after. This means the pasta is like soft dough before it's cooked, rather than dried out and hard like it is at home.
All of these yummy ingredients make the food healthier, too. I always feel energized after eating!
Italians have a more purposeful approach to life than most Americans do. This means that they take their time studying, enjoying food, or completing their work. Enjoying a slow meal where each course is meant to be really tasted suits their way of life very well!
Since I’ve been here, I’ve learned to enjoy the small things in my life, too. For example, I smile when I see cute dogs at the park, I take an extra deep breath of fresh air on sunny days, and I stop to ask myself how I feel about my day so far!
