Naples Christmas Menu

Christmas draws near and so I begin to think about which delicious Italian recipes I can prepare the dinner of Christmas Eve and the lunch of Christmas Day. Every regions of Italy have its traditional Italian recipes and so I think to show you some of them in particular my favourite one. Each Italian recipe is prepared with traditional Italian ingredients such as the pumpkin of Mantua, the polenta taragna of Valtellina or the cod of Naples. The first Italian menu, that I describe here, is that in my family it is usually prepared the Christmas Eve: it is a fish based menu traditional of Campania whose main Italian ingredients used are baccalà (dried salt-cured cod) fried or stewed used for the preparation of appetizer together with lobsters, clams used for a tasteful first course made of spaghetti, sea basses for second course and a delicious dessert called struffoli that are small ball of dough covered with melted honey. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
