Some of the fundamental ingredients of Italian cuisine include:
- -Garlic. Probably the ingredient that most people think of when it comes to Italian fare. Garlic is among the most popular basic ingredients, particularly when sautéed with olive oil to make a flavorful base.
- -Extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil is a staple in cooking. In addition, high quality extra virgin olive oil can also serve as a garnish for adding flavor. Diners also use it for dipping Italian bread or over salads.
- -Balsamic vinegar. This popular type of vinegar comes from the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna or Modena. Balsamic vinegar is a fine addition for dressings and marinades.
- -Pasta. A combination of eggs, flour, water, salt and olive oil, pasta is another well-known part of many Italian dishes. There are multiple varieties based upon their shape and the region from which they come.Popular varieties are spaghetti, penne and fettuccine.
- -Sauces. Marinara is perhaps the most famous of Italian sauces, consisting of tomatoes, basil, onion, and garlic. Another favorite is pomodoro, which is basically the same ingredients as marinara but is usually somewhat thicker.
- -Tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes are, of course, a basic essential for Italian cuisine.
