Italian Recipes

Many wonder what makes Italian recipes authentic. First,

get the recipe from an Italian. Then in my opinion, it is in

the spices used. Then the big thing that makes all the

difference is how fresh the spices and other ingredients are.

Basil out of a jar from a supermarket shelf is bland and

tasteless. No flavor. This is how a non Italian cooks.

You can tell something is missing. If you cannot find an

Italian store that sells fresh basil, I recommend growing

your own. Go to a nursery and get basil already in a pot

growing. Then, after it grows, pick it and place in a plastic

bag. Place it in your freezer to use during the year.
