We were supposed to cook yesterday (Saturday) but were invited to have dinner with friends, and we are not a family to pass up some great home cooking. We had a great night and a wonderful meal!
Mojo and I decided that we would get started early and have a nice lunch. This worked out really well because today has flown right by thanks to our springing forward. We gathered our ingredients for the Pasticcio di Maccheroni - Baked Pasta with Ricotta and Ham (page 190) and quickly moved through the recipe. It didn't take us long before we had it ready for the oven. It is very similar to lasagna but with less cheese. We placed it into the oven and in 25 minutes we were ready to serve.
Once again the house filled with the warm aroma of a great meal. Mariesa and Mario were very excited. Cheese, pasta and tomato sauce, what kid wouldn't be excited? We all agreed this was another winner and all of us went back in for seconds. The recipe was very straight forward and did not require a lot of time or create a large mess which made Mariesa very grateful, today is her day to do the dishes and as she said "I'm in no mood to do dishes!" Who ever is, right?
Ciao,
