I love Italian food, it's so good!
The variety of tastes make it one of the most popular and copied foods in the world.
Yeah, there are different styles all over Italy
Italian Cuisine tries to be simple.  It usually only uses two to four ingredients at a time.
Wow, I didn't know that
Pasta is an example of one such food.  It originally dates back to 1154 in Sicily.
You're right, pasta is so simple and versatile!
Some pastas don't use wheat at all and instead substitute rice flour.
I've used rice pasta before, it's very good
The rice flour is made by steeping rice in lyre.
