October 2006 (Medialink) -- Over 25 million Americans are of Italian descent in the U.S. and this month showcases the U.S.'s number one ethnic food, Italian! October is National Italian Heritage Month and people everywhere are celebrating. Food is one of the biggest contributions that Italians made to America. Italian dishes became popular in the States after World War II, as pizzerias sprang up outside of Italian-American neighborhoods. First came pizza, then spaghetti & meatballs, lasagna and ravioli! The American palate has matured over the years to embrace more regional Italian dishes, like polenta and stuffed eggplant - along with Italian influenced fish and chicken. When cooking Italian food, experts suggest cooking well and saving time. Timesaving tips can include using seasoned breadcrumbs instead of going to the trouble of making them yourself; and preparing marinara sauce ahead of time and freezing it in small portions for later use.
