Italy

Far east of Verona is a town called Trieste. From this city hails a soup that shows how the cuisine of Italy has been influenced by other cultures. It uses sauerkraut!

There is a traditional Italian wedding soup that uses some of the same ingredients as the minestrone. But it is much more focused on the meat than the vegetables.

Despite the large number of ingredients, preparation of this traditional soup from the north is really simple. All the work is in simply chopping and slicing the vegetables and the ham.

The sauce is the main feature of this creamy dish. Prepare the enriched Alfredo sauce and pour it over boiled fetuccine.

This is one of the dishes that have made Italian cuisine well know over the world. Try a few dishes from Southern Italy and you may never want to go home again.
