Who doesn't love snail mail?
And charming snail mail?
I LOVE IT.
The dish above I have made twice now..it is from that girl:)..Diane Morrisey again.
Google Instagram..and Diane Morrisey..you are there.
I hesitate to put links now because often my accounts are linked ..
She makes larger portions..
I made mine w 2 Italian sausages..
I made a marinara w/ a can of tomatoes..and the usual cast of characters including red wine..you add red pepper flakes..
cream..parm..
2 cups Rigatoni..cooked..I dodn't need to reserve cooking liquid..
Add the cooked rigatoni to warm creamy cheesy sauce..
Serve..top with Ricotta(I jujjed mine)..and I added soft mozza cubes.
It is a beauty upon presentation..
You have to stir it all up..
everything pops..
Not half as pretty yet decidedly delicioso.
Go find her recipe on IG..to get the real recipe.
Once in a while it's fun to be sinful..
I love this dish to bits.
She is getting a Youtube channel..and a book is in the works I think.
Buying.
BTW..this made 4 servings.
We had an overnight jaun to to Burlington VT..
I stocked up on some TJ things..
Cannot cross the border w/ fruits..meats or plants..
So not all the goodies..
Wonder if the Chia/flaxseed peanut butter is discontinued?
Anyone know?
The garlic sauce was sold out the morning we left(Toum)..
I thought..no big deal..I'll make it..
FIASCO.
This is a quick and quirky sketch on Mixed Media paper.
A cute spot I know.
I just have to keep my hands and mind focused on making..
