As Suzie K. will soon find out, as simple as it is, is as delicious as it is. And just one of the many Sunday Pastas for which Spanx was invented.
Grazie Eduardo.
Funny. She wanted me to clarify too that she doesnt have a housekeeper (that can cook…)
Good recipes, and great humor, too. I’m stealing the line about being boring, gray, and a 1000 crow’s feet. Thanks!
Grazie!!
Fond memories of my father making this at midnight/one o clock on a Friday night when
The meatless Friday meal wasn’t enough! The smell would wake me up in our small apartment and I
Would get up and have a few bites with my parents. Only thing he ever cooked.
No prezzemolo?
