Рецепт Penne with Sausage and Peppers

by Christine Lamb

History has it that

mozzarella was first made when cheese curds accidently fell

into a pail of hot water at the cheese factory near Naples, soon thereafter the

first pizza was made! New cheeses are often formulated when mistakes happen, so

there well may be truth in the tale!

Mozzarella was first

made in Italy near Naples from the rich milk of water buffalos. Because it was

not made from pasteurized milk and because there was little or no refrigeration

the cheese did not have a long shelf life and seldom left the southern region

of Italy near Naples where it was made. As cheese technology, refrigeration and

transportation systems developed the cheese spread to other regions of Italy To

this day it is widely known that the best and most highly prized artisanal

produced buffalo mozzarella is still found south of Naples near Battipaglia and

Caserta where factories continue centuries old traditions making buffalo

mozzarella fresh daily for their local customers, who line up at the factories

to buy this delicacy.

This

penne with sausage and peppers is a hardy dish that your family will love.
