Cannolis

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

pasta with a dynamite meat sauce is right up there.
im a sucker for pizza, but although its roots are italian, pizza has evolved into mainly american fare. most people are so accustomed to chain pizzerias that true italian style pizza doesnt please them. i like it though.
Easy recipe:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 stick real butter
2 tbs cream cheese
1 1/4 cups real parmesean cheese, grated
2 tsp garlic powder
salt to taste
Heat cream, butter, cream cheese together until butter and cream cheese are melted, stirring almost constantly.
Slowly add parmesean and garlic powder, stirring to avoid clumping.
Add salt, 1/2 tsp or so.
Simmer over medium low heat for at least a half hour. The longer the better.
Pour pasta noodles of your choice.
Great additions to this are sauteed mushrooms, grilled chicken, and fine Italian breads on the side.
My own, home made, alfredo over farafalle.

INDEED...That is ONE TASTY DISH!![:p][:p]
the real deal, not chemically cured with preservatives and seasonings.

...Veal parm is hard to beat. I make a great meatball sandwich. I form the meat "ball" into a long thick turd shape, brown them and simmer them in home made red sauce. Put them in an Italian roll with sauce, sauteed green peppers and onions. Great...now I'm starving...[:p]
great. turd shape. thats exactly the mental image i want when im trying to eat...
Actually I would have a hard time picking my favorite.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

...Well the round ones want to squirm out when you take a bite. Call me a non-conformist (but practical) cook/eater....[:D]
Genuine Neapolitan style Spaghetti a la Carbonara ranks as one of my favorites.
Boil the water and add a generous amount of salt and stir briefly. Add spaghetti and cook ten minutes stirring occasionally.
While the spaghetti is cooking, slice up some garlic cloves, chop up some green onion tops, (and some regular onion if you like, but it is not required).
Cut up some prosciutto or panchetta in small pieces, and if none is on hand, use bacon as a substitute. I prefer prosciutto. Precooked meat will speed up the process a bit, but don't overcook it. Mix in the meat and onion bits with the garlic.
Prepare at least one large beaten egg per person.
Dump the spaghetti into a colander and rinse very quickly with cold water, then add spaghetti to ingredients in the skillet.
Pour egg(s) over the spaghetti and toss all ingredients very, very well, until the egg on the spaghetti is almost, but not quite dry.
Serve immediately with a good Italian bread and butter, along with a hardy Italian Red Chianti wine, if you like.
Make sure that you have fresh Parmesan cheese, along with fresh black pepper, to include, sea salt on the table and ready for use.
For those who like it hot, toss in some bits and pieces of dried Peperoncino (peppers), and toss them in the hot oil with the garlic.
For those who like a more cheesy taste, add some parmesan cheese into the dish right after the egg.
Mamma Mia! Molto, Molto Delizioso! Provided you are talking about your mother's great cooking!
Note:
dependent on how many you are cooking for, you might "need" to add more olive oil during the tossing-process.

Sorry but pizza goes way farther back than that. Its not from Italy.
Double Pepperoni
Shredded ham
Double bacon
cochtail weiners
Generous whiff of oregano and a good dab of chili.
I don't care where it comes from - generally it's thought of as italian... that's good enough for me.
