Linguine in a seafood marina sauce. Often called a Linguine Posillipo, you can get the recipe here.

Fuck yeah, that sounds amazing. One of these days when I can afford it and have better access to fresh seafood, I'm going to try this. The recipe sounds pretty easy too.

I wouldn't even know where to start. My friend's mom made it. I ate it almost every Sunday for five years. Tried it a few times at various places. All of them seemed like they probably came out of a package.

I tracked most of my salt to taking a short cut with the sauce. I'm trying to come up with decent homemade sauce.
I think I'll end up doing this one next week.

Care to share the recipie?

Odds are, it ain't your fault, but a difference in the sourced components.

Salt is added everywhere now days, and it adds up.
Back in the day, when everything in a dish was sourced individually, salt was not there until added at home.

Pizza
Spaghetti
Fettuccini Alfredo
Rigatoni and beef
Provalone and anything
Mozzarella and anything
Prosciutto
Salami
Pepperoni


Basically anything meat and/or cheese.

Latin American food and Italian are my two favorites with German food coming in a very close third.

Sorry...

I share your frustration and angst, as well as the quest.

So far, I have learned that our granny's and Nonnas never took shortcuts, and worked with raw supplies.
Back in the day, it was cheaper to work with raw everything.

"Chicken stock" meant boiling bones, and canning the the reduction, and not buying commercial "Chicken stock".

"Crushed Tomatoes" means boiling, skinning, and hand crushing Romas.

Your Nonna worked like my Granny,and everyone elses in the kitchen.
Back then, everything was raw, and unprocessed, and odds are, came from the back yard or neighbors.

Youtube is full of Italian Nonnas cooking stuff, and is a better resource than the 4 star Michelin chefs approach, because they are real.

I wish you luck.

I am, and have been on a quest to replicate the Faggetini that my buddys Nonna cranked out..she died, nobody wrote down anything.
I have come close, by using nothing but fresh components, but still am way off....

Chose "Pizza" not that it's truly "Italian."  We probably eat it more often than anything else on the list.

Not the Podesta kind, though.

I am absolutely certain that the salt/sodium in these two things is what is really throwing taste off in recipes.


I wish you luck.

Pepperoni rolls

/thread



Added....I'm of Italian (and Scot-Irish on mom's side) heritage, second generation born in the US. Grew up in Appalachia. If you don't know the history of pepperoni rolls, do some research. It's cool.

Short version....Italian immigrant coal miners developed them so they could take food from home into the mines with them.

Great place but back on topic, American pizza is not Italian pizza. Not even near. If you can find a good place that makes REAL Italian pizza you'll more than likely keep going back.

I'm married to an Italian from Utica NY so it's hard for me to pick one dish.

If I had to pick one I'd probably go with sauce and meatballs with pasta. Bonus the sauce can be used to make a plethora of Guido good eats.

I'm biased.
87% of the time while I grew up Sunday dinner was Gramma's or Mom's spaghetti and meatballs. Mom's parents came from Palermo.
Actually, we ate spaghettoni. A thicker type of spaghetti we bought in 10 lb. bulk boxes.

So, you are arguing that Pizza was in invented in the USA and shouldn't be included in a poll about ITALIAN-AMERICAN FOOD? L----OH----L  PIzza was invented in Italy!!! There is an American version of it that differs significantly. Thus, it's inclusion in the poll.
You better put down the amaretto and smell the espresso. Furthermore, Italy lasagna isn't drenched in Ricotta and parmesan like American style. Poll intact.

2013 called, we didn't answer.
