  1. I added red wine vinegar and oregano and left out the cream. (I may have also put in more parmesan than called for, I didn't measure). This will be the recipe I use from now on.
     
  2. We enjoyed this for dinner tonight. I made as directed and was surpised that you really could not taste the achovies. I did add the cream about 3/4 cup. Next time I would like to make it more spicy by adding some heat to it. Thanks shygirl for posting this recipe. Made for Sprng PAC 2008.
     
  3. My favorite pasta recipe! Light and delicious.
     
  4. Great refreshing pasta recipe. The secret here is to simmer the sauce for 45 minutes or longer. Scrumptious!
     
  5. Best Pomodoro Sauce I have ever tasted.

I love to cook and bake whenever i have spare time. I am a good or shall i say exceptional baker according to my 4 kids. We are fortunate enough to travel constantly as a family and our passion is FOOD! We are constantly on a look out for new places to eat. I enjoy entertaining in my house and we love to have guests come over. We are never out of food to feed my childrens' friends when they hang out. They always rave about my home baked goodies and it warms my heart to hear their oohs and ahhs....
