Italian cuisine influenced Peruvian dishes and its culinary style. Peru in particular received a large migration, mainly from Genova. Peruvian cuisine owes its first legumes such as Broccoli, zucchini, chard, cauliflower, and eggplants, to the Italian immigrants. Pasta, the other big contribution, was adapted in various ways, the best example being “Tallarines Verdes” (green noodles), the Peruvian version of Pesto Pasta.
