Question: What is the most Popular Italian Food?
Answer: Well Paul, probably the most popular Italian food is pasta.
It's a very wide answer, as there are so many pasta types with quite infinite Italian pasta recipes to dress them all.
With so many different ways of cooking pasta that it is quite impossible to specify just one as the most popular.
In Italy, recipes vary from city to city, from region to region. Each place adds something typical from that territory, so that you may find pork sausages with fennel seed in one specific town in Sardinia so as most of the ones made in Calabria contains chilli pepper.
Pasta is probably the most popular Italian food because it is also a cheap dish and usually pleases everybody. You can prepare a rich ragu recipe with meat, but you can also prepare a broccoli and pasta recipe that is much cheaper even being a tasty and healthy dish.
You can also find easy pasta recipes quite everywhere, so it is not even a problem to cook it. It is a healthy food made with just wheat flour and water (sometimes with eggs) that gives immediate energy and is easy digestible.
