Italian Cuisine
Italian cuisine is much like their spoken language. How so?
Well, there is a national language that every region speaks but every region has their own dialect that they speak between one another.
And you can see this same phenomenon in Italian cooking.
Each region has their own style of preparing food – specific dishes and ingredients that they are best known for, yet there are basic ingredients such as pasta, cheese and olive oil that all of Italy uses.
Tucson Region Cooking
The Tuscan Region prepares typical dishes that are based upon what Tuscans find fresh and local at the farmers market that week, making them often very easy to prepare and involving few ingredients.
Tuscan cuisine is famous and appreciated all over the world because of its use of fresh, natural and genuine ingredients.
And that’s what you’ll find here with our Crockpot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Thighs.

To the Alfredo Sauce, add the sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan Cheese and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning until thoroughly combined.
