Is pepperoni served in Italy?

Pepperoni pizza in Italy is pizza with bell peppers. If you want pepperoni pizza in Italy, you will need to order Salami on your pizza. Some places that have a lot of American tourists may place pepperoni pizza on their menu- but of you go to areas not frequented by American tourists, and order pepperoni pizza- you will get bell pepper pizza. This happened to me in Pescara, Italy.

Pepperoni (with two 'p's in the middle) is an Italian-American sausage/salami, known mainly in countries other than Italy! Peperoni (with only one 'p' in the middle) are green/yellow/red bell peppers. There is a difference in pronunciation between the two words (the word with two 'p's has a short 'e' as in petty; the word with only one 'p' has a longer 'e' as in pay) but it is very difficult for any foreigner to hear or pronounce the difference!

Does pasta in lasagna give you energy?

Pasta does not give you quick energy. Pasta is made up of complex carbohydrates that provide slow-release energy.

However, it is important to note that while pasta may be low in sources of quick energy, there is a significant amount of sugar in spaghetti sauce. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, which means it provides quick energy.

Assuming "spaghetti" is a combination of both pasta and spaghetti sauce, I would say it is a source of both quick and slow-releasing energy.
