Italian food usually refers to food that originated in Italy. True Italian food focuses on the use of fresh ingredients, whether it be seafood, vegetables or even pasta. Unlike the Americanized version of Italian food, traditional recipes do not utilize heavy, fatty sauces but use quality ingredients to bring flavor to the dish. In America, most people think Italian food refers exclusively to pasta, but this is not the case.
