Italian food is one of the most popular cuisines or types of foods in the world. Italian cuisine consists of staples such as olive oil, tomatoes, pasta and cheese. Some of my favorite kinds of Italian dishes are Margherita pizza which consists of tomato sauce, cheese and basil leaves (an herb). I also love eggplant parmigiana. You may have had "chicken parm." before; well, eggplant parmigiana is the same dish except with eggplant instead of chicken, so its a good vegitarian substitute.
I have tried a mixture of pasta dishes, meat dishes and seafood dishes. Carbonara is one of my favorites because it is noodles in a sauce made out of egg yolks with lots of cheese and crispy pancetta (tastes a lot like bacon to me). Pizza is another of my favorites in Italy. The pizza, here, is a lot simpler and lighter compared to most of the pizza in America. Italians don't use seasonal crusts or deep dish crusts: the pizza here is more simplistic and traditional. What I mean by this is that the pizza dough is lighter, so I can eat a whole pizza by myself!
