Canned Tomatoes – Mine have to be San Marzano from Italy. My local grocery sells Pomi, Muir Glen and Cento brands which are all very good. I prefer the chopped variety for the texture it adds, although I do keep a few boxes of the strained variety for my favorite pasta sauce with meatballs.

It’s also used as a final flavoring to mostly sweet dishes but it can go well with pork and other white meat.

Have dry pasta in different shapes, short and long, such as penne, rigatoni, spaghetti, farfalle, fettuccine, and so on. Pasta has always been a major staple in the Italian pantry, since it allows you to prepare even a very basic satisfying meal by just adding olive oil or butter, and some grated cheese on top. Olive Oil World-renowned chef Theo Randall shares his 10 pantry staples and reveals his favourite ways to cook with them through 100 fabulous recipes covering Tomatoes, Porcini Mushrooms, Parmesan, Lemons, Leafy Greens, Ricotta, Polenta, Pine nuts, Honey and Breadcrumbs.

Get a fresh Basil (Basilico) plant if you can find it, when you add Pine nuts (Pinoli), olive oil and cheese you will make pesto, or use the fresh leaves for your marinara sauce or a Caprese salad with mozzarella and tomatoes. In the Italian pantry you would also find preserved food, in cans or jars. Tuna ( Tonno) in olive oil is great in a salad with cannellini beans and scallions, or even in a pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes and Capers.Rice– For risotto choose good Arborio rice. Most groceries now carry a couple of different brands. Carnaroli and Vialone Nano are also great choices if you can find them. although usually, I have only found these varieties at Italian specialty stores.

Other fresh spices and herbs to have in your Italian pantry are Parsley (Prezzemolo), Rosemary (Rosmarino) and Sage (Salvia), dry Oregano (Origano), Thyme (Timo), Nutmeg (Noce moscata), and White Pepper (Pepe bianco). Saffron (Zafferano) is a wonderful (and expensive) spice that it’s used to make Risotto alla Milanese and other dishes. Beans Coffee is another staple of the Italian pantry that very few people in Italy won’t have it on their kitchen shelves. Often when someone’s visiting, you would offer them a caffè, made with ground espresso beans in a stove-top moka. Younger Italians have succumbed to the fast espresso machines using pods and capsules, nonetheless making a perfect caffè every time. Other delicaciesDried Porcini Mushrooms – Although they can be an expensive item, a little goes a long way, and if kept in an airtight container, they’ll keep for a long time. Keep the water used to rehydrate them. Strained, it will add a depth of flavor to many soups, sauces and stews.
