A-typical Italian food

In the Anglo-Saxon culinary habits we can find plenty atypical italian dishes. Lots of italian recipes have been transformed or even completely cooked up! Here are just few of them:

Spaghetti with meatballs

This is probably one of the most famous “Italian” dishes. Apparently, in order to “give volume” to the small portions of food that they could afford, poor Italian immigrants (late 19th century) added meatballs over the pasta. Actually, it has never been a traditional Italian meal.

 

Chicken parmesan

This is supposed to be a “meat-version” of the eggplant parm (parmigiana di melanzane). However, it has nothing to do with it! It is basically breaded chicken dipped in beaten eggs, then fried and spread with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. The whole is served with spaghetti… Definitely not Italian!

 

Spaghetti Bolognaise

The original name and recipe is actually Tagliatelle al ragù. Nevertheless, the kind of pasta used is not tagliatelle (it’s spaghetti) and the sauce is nowhere near the original.

 

 

 

Pepperoni pizza

It is the most famous and beloved kind of pizza in the U.S. But “pepperoni” has nothing to do with vegetables: it is an air-dried spicy and smoky sausage. In fact, pizza with salami exists in Italy, but it’s called Diavola. That’s why Americans get really disappointed when they ask for a Pepperoni in Italy and they get a pizza with bell peppers…
