We absolutely loved this recipe. It was delicious. It was a fairly simple list of ingredients but came together great.We followed the recipe exactly. I could not find the bucatini pasta so we used linguine instead. We used fresh tomatoes. When we added the tomato mixture to the onion mixture I was afraid it was going to become too watery but I followed the directions and let it simmer a few minutes to blend the flavors. The freshly grated parmesan was the great finishing touch. Thank you for a great recipe!

My name is Licia, I have been living happily in Rome for 4+years now. My Roman partner Cristiano and I are both enthusiastic foodies, and we love cooking. We also enjoy experimenting with new international ingredients to broaden our culinary horizons, and I am still learning the wonderful world of authentic Italian cuisine every day!!
Some of my other personal interests are physical fitness (which is a good thing to balance out my enthusiasm for good eating, lol!), graphic software (especially adobe photoshop), music, films, digital photography, animals (especially cats!) and travelling.
As much as I adore sweet treats, all kind of cakes, I fare much less in the aspect of baking than other type of cooking. At times they come out good, other times not, for reasons unexplained... :-( I would love to learn much more about it though, and sooner or later perfect the art!!
