Italian or Italian American?

Please decide.

Italian American cuisine is simply not the same as Italiam, different dishes, dishes which never existed in Italy, dishe which Italians would not recogniose as Italian.

I will be back to list these below.

OK these are some Italian American dishes / recipes :


 * Baked Ziti
 * Caramelized Sweet and Sour Onion Marmalade
 * Chicken Parmigiana - only ever vegetarian dish in Italy - eggplant, zucchini or artichoke stop
 * Foccacia with too many things in it to be Italian: onion marmalade, blue cheese and walnuts
 * Penne alla Casa - name is not correct Italian, too many ingredients ( heavy cream ! spinach and "Marinara" sauce! granulated garlic!!) to be genuine Italian
 * Pancetta Fusilli Herbs - way too much sauce., way too many herbs, heavy cream again, clearly not at all Italian
 * Marsala Chicken - might be close to Italian Scallopine (veal) al Marsala if you take out the asparagus, oregano, basil and parsley
 * Sausage and Tortelini soup - dried 3 cheese Tortellini (please!!) plus sausage, spinach, mushroms and tomatoes  all in a soup - way too much, obviously not Italian. Italians serve fresh meat filled tortellini in a clear meat broth

There are others that should be in Italian American and not Italian, will seek them out.
