What are the must ingredients in kitchen for making Italian recipes?

Question

If I have to make Italian recipes, can you tell me the basic or must ingredients to have in the kitchen that can be used in all or most Italian recipes.

Answer 1

There are many depending on the meal you want to cook.

Basil, Oregano, Bay Leaf, Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Majoram, Thyme, Sage

Answer 2

Pasta
Olive Oil
Balsalmic Vinegar
Fresh Garlic or jarred minced garlic
Basil
Canned Tomatoes
Fresh Tomatoes in season
Cheese
Wine

My favorite Italian inspired dish this time of year is to chop a few fresh tomatoes, add some fresh chopped basil and diced fresh mozzarella, salt and pepper, olive oil and balsamic and let sit while you cook some spagetti- then add the hot pasta to the sauce- yum. You can only do this when you have ripe tomatoes and fresh basil!

Answer 3

Italian cooking in the US is different than in Italy. The Mediterranean diet is based on: the everyday use of a great quantity of fruit and vegetables, the controlled use of carbohydrates (such as pasta, pizza, rice, bread ...), the choice of fish rather than meat, the use of olive oil instead of other fat . The herbs and spices are best fresh, and of course extra, extra virgin olive oil.

Answer 4

Extra virgin olive oil a must
Tomatoes, Basil, Oregano, Parsley, Garlic
Pasta of all shapes and sizes

Answer 5

The answers you have are good, but don't forget to always have a can or two of good plum tomatoes on hand. Look for ones imported from Italy, they tend to let them ripen longer and have better flavor. And cheese. Fresh Romano or Parmesan that you can grate yourself.
