A Journey Through Italy: Unveiling the Delights of a Traditional Christmas Feast
Christmas in Italy is a time for family, tradition, and, of course, incredible food! Each region boasts unique specialities, but some dishes remain staples nationwide. Here’s a peek at some of the mouthwatering options you can find on a traditional Italian Christmas table, all available for delivery from Tommy Sugo:
Lasagna: A Layered Masterpiece Steeped in Tradition
Lasagna is arguably the king of Italian Christmas feasts. This rich and layered dish is a labour of love, traditionally made with sheets of pasta, creamy béchamel sauce, a hearty ragu, and a generous sprinkling of cheese. (Let’s be honest, the more cheese, the merrier!) At Tommy Sugo, we offer various lasagna options, including our classic Harvey Beef Lasagne and the lighter Creamy Bechamel Lasagna (Gluten-Friendly). No matter your preference, you’re guaranteed a taste of pure Italian comfort food.
Pro Tip: Lasagna reheats beautifully, making it perfect for leftovers. Enjoy it for a cosy Boxing Day lunch, or share it with friends and family who couldn’t make it on Christmas Day.
Cannelloni: Ricotta’s Dreamy Embrace
Cannelloni is another beloved Christmas staple. These large pasta tubes are filled with various delicious ingredients, often including ricotta cheese, spinach, and meat. They’re then baked in a rich tomato sauce, creating a symphony of textures and flavours. Tommy Sugo offers both classic and innovative options, like our Porcini Mushroom & Ricotta Cannelloni and the hearty Sicilian Beef Cannelloni in Napolitana Sauce.
Did you know? The word “cannelloni” comes from the Italian word “canna,” which means “reed.” This refers to the long, hollow shape of the pasta tubes.
Meat Feasts: A Celebration of Hearty Flavors
No Italian Christmas feast is complete without a succulent meat dish. Traditionally, this could be anything from roast capon to lamb or fish, depending on the region. At Tommy Sugo, we offer a variety of options that are sure to satisfy any meat lover. Our Harvey Beef Lasagne and Harvey Beef Ravioli are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, while the Beef Cheek & Red Wine Ravioli offers a more sophisticated twist.
Fun Fact: In some parts of Italy, a special Christmas Eve dinner called “Feast of the Seven Fishes” is celebrated. This tradition features a variety of seafood dishes, symbolising abundance and good fortune.
Beyond the Classics: Exploring Regional Gems
Italy is a land of diverse culinary traditions, and Christmas is no exception. While lasagna and cannelloni are popular choices nationwide, many regions have their unique specialities:
Southern Italian Sunshine: A Celebration of Seafood
Southern Italian Christmas feasts often feature a wider variety of seafood dishes. This is especially true in coastal regions where fresh fish is readily available. While we don’t currently offer seafood dishes on our menu, it’s a delightful reminder of the rich tapestry of Italian cuisine.
Travel Hack: If you ever find yourself in Southern Italy during Christmas, be sure to try dishes like “fritto misto” (fried seafood platter) or “spaghetti alle vongole” (spaghetti with clams). These dishes are bursting with fresh flavour and are an authentic taste of the Mediterranean.
Sweet Endings: Panettone and Beyond
No Italian Christmas feast is complete without a sweet ending. Panettone is a classic choice, a dome-shaped fruit cake studded with candied citrus peel and raisins. We don’t currently offer Panettone at Tommy Sugo, but there are many other delicious Italian Christmas desserts to explore. Think fluffy ricotta pies, decadent chocolate cakes, and delicate almond cookies. These sweet treats are the perfect way to end a festive meal.
Did you know? Panettone originated in Milan and is said to have been first created in the late 1400s. The origin story is shrouded in legend, but one famous tale involves a baker named Toni who accidentally invented the bread while trying to impress a noble with a special dessert.
