The Spaghetti Omelette

The Spaghetti Omelette

The Spaghetti Omelette. The pasta omelette it is a classic of the Italian tradition, someone associates it with Neapolitan cuisine, but I can assure you that it belongs to all Italian cultures, from Trentino to Sicily.

It was prepared with the leftovers from the day before, not what is in the refrigerator, since the history of the omelette with pasta dates back to the invention of the refrigerator.

The history of the pasta omelette

It can actually be prepared with any type of pasta, not just spaghetti, but also short pasta. Pasta heated like an omelette, it can be white without sauce or red with sauce.

Very cheap dish, you can also find it in some traditional pizzeria. Over time the macaroni omelette has come back very useful for trips out of town, since you can eat both cold and hot.

The Spaghetti Omelette

When I was a child I remember that my mother often prepared her for trips to the sea. I remember that you could only eat after taking a bath.

Before you move on to greetings, I remind you that in ours School pizzaioli, fantastic professional practical courses are scheduled for each week become a pizza chef. Are available all the information here.

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria. Until a few years ago, many pizzerias insisted on offering dessert pizzas to their customers, now this trend seems to be heading towards a certain sunset, not all customers are happy to eat another pizza for dessert, even if it could be very good.

The fact is that after a pizza, eating another one to end a dinner is an unlikely hypothesis. Can you imagine how many calories a pizza can have with an overflowing layer of Nutella spread on top.

How fashions change

Let's face it, everyone has experienced a dessert pizza at least once in their life, but now we are more oriented towards something smaller or perhaps lighter.

Following is the result of the "Consumers" report, the most requested dessert in a pizzeria is the old Tiramisu which never seems to set.

Carbonara Pizza How To Prepare It

Carbonara Pizza How To Prepare It. When we talk about Carbonara in Italy it is obvious that we are talking about spaghetti carbonara. This is not the case in the whole world. I'm going back right now from a holiday in Spain, in addition to being a beautiful historic country, boasts of a wonderful tradition culinary.

Among the many very original things that I found in the various menu proposals, there is one that impressed me in particular: The Pizza Carbonara. I found it in all the menus of the pizzerias I visited.

Carbonara Pizza Here's How To Prepare It

I could not resist and I immediately wanted to taste it. Excellent, my judgment absolutely deserves a 5 stars. We shouldn't expect the classic carbonara taste, but even if combined with a pizza base with tomato and mozzarella, it is not not bad.

The bacon cut into thin slices and with the addition of a raw egg in the center cooked totally in the oven makes it a not bad combination. Try to prepare it yourself at your home next weekend.
