Rome Calling

I finally made the Bucatini this weekend in Longview. I cheated and had Nico do my shopping. Unfortunately, half of the ingredients were left in Dallas. Cheaters never win!! The meatballs were by far my favorite, and I'm with Holly, usually not my favorite. I loved the smoked mozzarella inside. The local Skinners did not have pecorino (veal, flat leaf parsley, etc.), so I had to improvise a bit, and my sause was a little lacking. I also made a frito misto with green beans, garbanzo beans, cauliflower, and lemon. The lemon was my favorite.

I will be on to our next recipe as soon as I work off my frito misto. That should be sometime in 2010. :)

Welcome Pammy - and Happy Birthday!!
