Authentic most of the time, American for pizza

Never had american italian, not a big fan of pasta in general but and italian pizza is too soft.

I've literally never liked anything "Italian" American.

As a yuro, I check out both branches of a particular dish and make a judgement call, some times combining elements from the Italian and burgermutts.

Italians make lasagna with bechamel, the superior option, but I'll take a page from the yanks and also throw some ricotta in the layers.

Experiment for yourselves and mix and match when appropriate is all I can recommend.

authentic

It’s all just noodles, fuck noodles.

>Italians make lasagna with bechamel
Not my part. We use neither bechamel nor ricotta. Lasagne, unless you're eating a single sheet of pasta, vary place to place and not all use bechamel. Also, ricotta ones are common in the South and not some Americanism.

Have you heard of pizza?

Pizza is just a big flat noodle.

Italian food lives by good ingredients
>base ingredients taste like shit?
>Food will taste like shit!

American food or slop tastes fine, even if you exclusively shop at random supermarkets
because it doesn't depend on the fine, isolated taste of each ingredient
(maybe excluding California cuisine, from the likes of Chez Panisse)

search for any classic Italian recipe (preferably on italian sites)
and then for a similar dish but as "Americanized" version
just compare the number of ingredients...

>Italian cuisine, or Italian-American?
so this question entirely depends on the type / quality of produce I have on hand

also if I'm willing to spend another 15€ for wine, because risotto just tastes awful with bad wine

This.
They're both fine, but outside of pizza, I definitely prefer the og Italian food over the Americanized version.
