entity framework cannot get results of a many to many relationship - entity-framework

Question

I was trying to explore Code First today when I ran into a weird situation. I created 3 tables and entity framework created a 4th table for my many-to-many relationship. the code is as below:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace pizza_test.models
{
public class Pizza
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public float Price { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public int IngredientId { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Bottom> Bottoms { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Ingredient> Ingredients { get; set; }
}
}
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace pizza_test.models
{
public class Bottom
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Size { get; set; }
public virtual Pizza Pizzas { get; set; }
}
}
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace pizza_test.models
{
public class Ingredient
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public virtual Pizza Pizzas { get; set; }
}
}
The code of my dbcontext is as follows:
namespace pizza_test
{
using models;
using System;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
public class PizzaContext : DbContext
{
public PizzaContext()
: base("name=PizzaContext")
{
}
public DbSet<Pizza> Pizza { get; set; }
public DbSet<Ingredient> Ingredient { get; set; }
public DbSet<Bottom> Bottom { get; set; }
}
}
However when I try to query the database in my program.cs I am not allowed to call item.Ingredients.Name .
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var _context = new PizzaContext();
var firstPizza = _context.Pizza.Include(p => p.Ingredients).ToList();
foreach (var item in firstPizza)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.Ingredients.Name);
}
}
}
Which makes me kind of lost since i thought this was the power of ORMs. Did i forget something here? Also when i debug it in Visual Studio I can find all the related data of Ingredients including name, description and id. Thanks for any help provided.
