This is so rich that we don't have it often but this was worth it. I had a slight problem because it turned out somewhat drier than I would have liked so next time I will use less spaghetti noodles. Must admit that I was a bit nervous using white wine vinegar, but two tablespoons is about right. It took a lot more than five minutes preparation time because you are working at the stove the whole time. Thanks for sharing Bippie.

I come from a very Polish family with 5 brothers and a sister. I love to cook just about anything Polish and I'm pretty good at cleaning out the refridgerator and making something worth eating. Just got married on 07/07/07, so I would love to get some Just for 2 dinner menus. Finally enjoying the wonderful California weather. I haven't started baking, but I'm really excited to get back into the contests here.
