Eating Styles: Favorite Italian Ingredient Edition!

See this?

You’re looking at Giada’s Roman-Style Chicken, made by yours truly. The florescent lighting in my kitchen and sub-par iPhone camera don’t do its beauty justice, but trust me, this recipe was a work of art – a combination of everything good in Italian food. I encourage you to click on the link to see what it really looked like.

Look at all that great stuff floating around in there. Garlic, red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, thyme, oregano…all those little pungent ingredients that add up to one delicious, full-bodied bite of exquisite taste sensation.

This Thursday’s question is: what is your favorite ingredient to see in an Italian recipe? I threw a few standard answers down there but this poll is a little more open-ended by nature so I encourage you to choose “Other” and tell us the Italian ingredient that really hits home for you.
