Spaghetti alla "Matriciana"The "Spaghetti alla Matriciana-- as they say in Rome-- is loved in the Roman Cuisine. It is a universal favorite and comes in first of the Roman gastronomic specialities. For one kilogram of spaghetti, you'd dice up one onion and let sautè. You would then add in diced up pork or bacon and let both brown lightly. To this half a kilogram (around one pound) of skinless tomatoes cut up, and turning up the flame for a few minutes. Salt and pepper are then added. Boil your spaghetti al dente When the pasta is done mix with your salsa and sprinkle with grated pecorino. The authenic Roman recipe calls for pecorino, but you may use half and half; pecorino to parmigiano.Hope this blog site to be informative and fun!...

Dreamers live in the North of Italy, Realists in the CenterAccording to the latest research, by Maxistick Motta, the desires of Italians change on the bases of where they live. Surprisingly the North is more concentrated with dreamers and "Mamma's Boys." The parents are the models whom inspire their children. The most concrete Italians are those who live in central regions. They look after "their needs" in cental areas-- up to 45.2% . There is a good 76% that would wish to possess a sports car. In the south of Italy 30.4% would make their dreams reality--but with their mate. And the more saught after desires would be: trips to exotic places (35.8%), to possess an apartment in a good area of their city (29.2%).Hope this blog site to be informative and fun!...
