When you're realllllyyyyy hungry you seriously can't beat pasta.  I love spaghetti and meatballs, and linguine, and lasagna.  Do you like pasta and have you ever tried to make it?
It is my absolute favorite, but no I've never tried to make the noodles.
I recently discovered how delicious Bolognese sauce is with pasta too.  Its a meat-based sauce and if you can get an original Italian recipe it's amazing!
My mother in law is Italian.  She makes some amazing dishes.
Oh you're so lucky!  I bet you guys have the best holiday's!  This is making me so hungry right now too!
