Italian Food

Twospicy sauces that come to mind are Arabbiata Sauce(Angry)andFra Diavolo Sauce (Brother Devil). If you google themyou'll see that both have hundreds of recipes. Everyone makes itjust so slightly different. Arabbiata is a more common Roman dish, with the noodles, typically penne or speghetti,boiled in salty water. In arabbiata sauce, the spicyness usually comes from red peppers, or crushed red peppers. Fra Diavolo, on the other hand, uses chilli pepers to achieve that touch of Itialian "piccante". This is a popular sauce served with various pasta noodles, but is also common to find it on seafood such as shrimp. Hope this helps.

Cooked meat only keeps 3 days in the fridge: http://www.canfightbac.org/cpcfse/en/cookwell/ask/where_how/#218 If you've got leftovers that you might not want to eat that quickly - freeze them on the day you cook them (chill first). You can always defrost them tomorrow if you need them then.

If you ever went to Olive Garden then you know the answer Italians eat the same at Christmas time. Trust me I'm Italian and I know everything.

There isn't a set menu for Christmas dinner like Turkey on Thanksgiving here.

There is a tradition on Xmas eve though. Italian Americans have a dinner called "The meal of the 7 fishes" where 7 different fish dishes are served. There would be fried squid, shrimp, smelts, baccala (salted cod), chowder, clam dishes, lobster dishes, pretty much any sort of fish dish you could imagine (except sushi)

If you've got an Italian coming over for Christmas dinner and you want to make them comfortable... Don't take them to Olive Garden. The food there isn't bad or anything, but it's like taking somebody to "Red Lobster" just because they're from Maine. Italians have an adventurous palate and a holiday meal is an event. The company is more important then the food. Serve what ever you would normally have. Just space out the courses a bit and have plenty of wine and coffee with desert. If you want to make them feel at home, look hurt and ask them if they didn't like something they didn't have three helpings of.

There are a couple of ways to get the burnt taste out of spaghetti sauce. You can try placing a peeled raw potato into the pot of sauce. It usually works by absorbing the burnt taste. You could also try adding in some peanut butter or sugar.

The who that first made lasagna is lost in the mists of time. Once egg and flour noodles had been developed it was only a matter of time before some anonymous cook thought it might be a good idea to interleave large sheets of pasta with a sauce and bake it off.

It depends on the type of pasta. You can usually find the cooking time on the package. For example, angel hair only takes about 3-5 minutes while penne may take 13 minutes. Whole wheat pasta takes longer than regular flour pasta.

Here in Brasil, sauce for polenta is Italian based, many here in Brasil, and sauces are tomato based with basil, and other herbs. There is no right nor wrong, no better than others.

If you're making it from scratch there are four parts to the overall process. First, making the filling. This can take 15-30 minutes depending on the type of filling you want. If it includes meat, that will take longest since you have to cook the meat. Second, making the pasta. This takes about 15-20 minutes but the pasta dough should rest about 20 minutes more before you roll it out and cut it. Third assembling the tortellini. This takes the longest if you make a lot of them. You have to fill, seal, and twist each tortellini and then they should dry out somewhat before cooking. Overall about an hour for a large batch of tortellini. Fourth is the cooking. This is the quickest. No more than 5 minutes in boiling water.
