Fresh Mozzarella & Imported Italian Tomatoes
Tomatoes are an integral component of many Italian cuisine dishes. From sweet and tart varieties to those packed with juicy flavor and sour tang, we have vine-ripened varieties explicitly designed to meet your culinary needs. Perfect for pasta sauces, pizza toppings, or soups, or use as part of charcuterie board garnish.
Bocconcini mozzarella is soft and delicate, making it the ideal choice for marinating or topping caprese salads with. Ciliagine, another small mozzarella similar to bocconcini, makes a perfect marinade choice, especially when threaded onto skewers along with cherry tomatoes and basil for an alternative twist on classic caprese dishes.
DeLallo imported crushed Italian tomatoes are an indispensable pantry essential, providing vibrant tomato flavor in many dishes. Use them to whip up quick weeknight pasta sauces or as the basis of chili, soups, and stews.
Fresh Basil
Basil leaves can shrivel up during baking, becoming soggy and damaging your teeth. Waiting to add it after your pizza comes out of the oven helps maintain its freshness and color.
Pizzeria Undici, which opened on Merrick Road’s retro block alongside All American Hamburger and Marshall’s Ice Cream Bar in June, has since impressed Long Islanders with its authentic recipes and customer-driven service, according to online reviews. “This new slice spot in Massapequa,” reads one Google review. This restaurant offers slices, calzones, rolls, and garlic knots; in addition to an outdoor seating area and ample outdoor seating space – it will soon begin offering delivery service as well!
Homemade Rich Vodka Sauce
Homemade rich vodka sauce is an elegant Italian-American pasta sauce that can be prepared quickly at home. The alcohol helps cut acidity from tomatoes while counterbalancing heavy cream used. This makes this lighter than traditional tomato sauce, making it suitable for those not keen on wine!
Onions add a sweet yet mellow note to this dish, while crushed red pepper flakes add just the right touch. San Marzano-style tomatoes are ideal for this recipe as their firm texture and few seeds allow them to hold up against heavy cream without becoming acidic in the final sauce.
This dish is highly adaptable and works well with nearly every type of pasta shape. Additionally, it serves as an ideal platform to add protein-rich components such as meatballs, Italian sausage slices, or chicken to create a complete meal.
