flakes, capers and olives. Stir to
combine. Turn heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring and scraping the
bottom of the pan to make a thick, flavorful sauce (about 2 ½ cups).

My Recipe came from the Italian culture.
Who is my mentor and what
did I learn from my mentor?
My
mentor is my Dad. My dad is ¼ Italian. He taught me how to make the sauce and
the history of pasta in Italy. I also learned where the ingredients are grown,
from him. It’s not an old family recipe,
however one day it will be!
The name of the food I am
studying. Please talk about the history of the food, where in the world it is
grown and how it is used in different types of cooking. Make sure state your source of information.
The
food I studied is pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.
The
history of pasta: Some people think pasta came to
Italy from China, but noodles date back to Greek and Roman times. Back then, pasta was called lagane which also has the same root as
the word lasagna. Pasta was forgotten
until Italian explorer, Marco Polo, rediscovered it in China and brought it
back to Italy in 1295. In the 1300’s, pasta was a staple on ships because of a
long shelf life and high nutritional values.
Pasta didn’t meet tomatoes until the nineteenth century.
Pasta
is made of durum wheat. There’s a lot of
pasta in Italy because the climate is perfect for growing durum wheat.
Pasta
is used in several types of cooking. One
dish pasta is used in is lasagna.
Another food that pasta is used in is soup. Mac and cheese, my favorite, is another
example.
