Spaghetti W/ Fresh Tomato Sauce W/ Capers & Fresh Mozzarella
"Huffingtonpost.com published a wonderful article entitled "Quick And Easy No-Cook Pasta Sauce Recipes," showing how to make (and vary!) a fresh tomato sauce, pesto, and a Parmesan sauce. The idea behind the article was to present recipes that could be made in the time that it takes to cook the noodles. This was our variation on their theme of tomato sauce. Don't skip the anchovies: smashed, they add an amazing depth of flavor and you won't know that they are there!"

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
