Italian gourmets and nutritionists have studied the relationship between noodles and health. The results show that as long as you follow the correct cooking methods and reasonable ingredients, you can enjoy the delicious pasta and have a good figure. The secret is that the raw material of spaghetti is hard wheat. This hard wheat is rich in protein and complex carbohydrates. This carbohydrate decomposes slowly in the human body and does not lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar. Therefore, pasta is also used to regulate the diet of diabetic patients.
Italians give full play to their artistic imagination and creativity in noodle making. There are more than 400 different shapes and colors of spaghetti, including straight, curved, flat, round, bow, shell, screw, small wheel, hollow tube and so on. The colors are yellow, red, green and white. Not only is it visually attractive like a work of art, but it also gives people different taste feelings.
Italians' knowledge of eating noodles focuses on ingredients, paying attention to delicious taste and rich nutrition. Through the change of ingredients, they deduced countless kinds of flavored noodles. From south to north, each region has its own special noodles, such as the seafood noodles in Sicily, which are rich in fresh fish and shrimp in the local area, yellow and white, and fragrant; The tomato beef noodles in Bologna in the north are sprinkled with Palmegano, which is called "cheese gold", and the taste is rich; The Genoese-style noodles in Liguria are added with sauces made of basil leaves, pine nuts, cheese and olive oil. The mixed noodles are green in color and fragrant in taste. There are countless game noodles such as truffles or wild mushrooms in the central region.
