Vitello Tonnato
The Vitello Tonnato (veal with tuna sauce) was created in Piemonte at the end of the 1700. It became part of the traditional Italian cuisine thanks to a recipe published by Pellegrino Artusi in 1891.
The union between fish and meat was on-trend during the ‘80s but its origins are older than that; it dates back to when anchovies’ sellers went to Liguria for purchasing the fish for a more favorable price.
Pici with clams
The Pici with clams is a very successful traditional Italian dish, it’s one of the most requested pasta dishes in restaurants during the summertime.
It is made with few, and simple ingredients and its history is very recent. It was a chef in the ‘80s that decided to innovate the classical Spaghetti “Ajo e Ojo e Peperoncino” (garlic, olive oil, and chili pepper) adding the clams to the recipe. This way this dish has now a delicate scent of the sea but a strong taste.
