190 italian recipes

that are low in salt ready in 30 to 60 minutes

Italian cuisine is one of the best known and most loved outside of Italy. Pasta, pizza, risotto, fritto misto are enjoyed world wide as is Italy's charcuterie (mortadella, salami, Parma ham and zampone) and Italian cheeses such as Parmesan and Gorgonzola, which pair perfectly with Italian pasta dishes.

Many Italian recipes are some of the oldest in Europe. Choose any Italian dinner recipe and it's likely a replica of one that was enjoyed in ancient Rome. Italian polenta for example is the same as the puls that Romans armies prepared while en route to conquer the world.

Italian pastas such as carbonara or a tomato meat sauce (bolognese) have a worldwide reputation. Everyone is familiar with Lasagna, cannelloni, ravioli and tortellini as well as famous Italian meatballs.
