  I like food I can identify when it’s put before me.  It seems to me that Italian cooks are as good as anybody at doing this.  And what a good sight a plate of well sauced pasta is. For the home cook it isn’t a daunting prospect either.  Seeking good classic, easy-to-cook recipes, I […]

As write, the rain continues to  fall.  It is damp, dank and miserable.  A quick hot uplifting plate of something was called for at lunch time, made from what was in the house, neither of us feeling willing to brave the elements to go shopping.  Pasta is always welcome, and provided you have a sauce […]
