Dishes with Provolone

In Argentina, provoleta or grilled provoleta cheese is typically enjoyed before a meal as an appetizer. It's one of the staples of the Argentine bbq asado. The semi-hard provolone is the perfect cheese for the grill, because it's compact and firm. For asado, it is sliced about an inch thick, seasoned with a generous amount of oregano, maybe a light sprinkling of dried red chili flakes, and grilled until it just starts to melt in the center. Provoleta is best enjoyed topped with the garlicky chimichurri sauce and paired with crusty bread on the side.Expand

Italian sandwich is an American sandwich consisting of a long bread roll filled with cheese such as provolone, meats such as salami, mortadella, and ham, and condiments such as tomatoes, olives, pickles, and onions. It is believed that the first Italian sandwich was created in Portland, Maine, in 1899 by an Italian baker named Giovanni Amato. He originally created it as an inexpensive, portable lunch for road construction workers, but today it has gained such popularity that it is a staple of numerous variety stores and sandwich shops throughout Maine.Expand

Spaghetti alla Nerano is a traditional pasta dish originating from Nerano. The dish is usually made with a combination of spaghetti, zucchini, olive oil, garlic, butter, Provolone del Monaco cheese, basil, and salt. The zucchinis are thinly sliced, fried in oil, and drained. The spaghetti are cooked until al dente. The garlic is sautéed in olive oil, removed from the pan, and the spaghetti are finished cooking in the same oil. A dab of butter is added to the pan along with the zucchini, and the dish is finished with grated provolone cheese and fresh basil before serving. If Provolone del Monaco is unavailable, it's recommended to use caciocavallo. This vibrant dish was invented in 1952 at Ristorante Maria Grazia Nerano.Expand
