Hi Ben,


RH> That does have some possibilities. Add a good marinara sauce to the
RH> noodles and make sure you have sufficient cheese; it needs more than just
RH> a light dusting.

 BC> Yesterday i made spaghetti using a store brand "Spaghetti Spice Mix"
 BC> packet. The ingredients list included half a dozen different dairy
 BC> ingredients. Butter that, Cheese this, Milk, caseinate, etc.  Suffice
 BC> it to say last night's spaghetti was "bomb" and i am looking forward
 BC> to the leftovers. Hooray for cheese drugs.

I'd be shot at sunset (or sunrise if it were closer) if I used anything
like that. (G) Steve is half Italian--on his mom's side. She gave me a
copy of her recipies when we got married; I've tweaked them some but
stayed fairly close to the original. One thing we have done over the
last 25 (+/-) years is to give up the "green can" and "red can" cheeses
in favor of buying a hunk and grating our own. We were at Wegman's the
other day--usually they sell their parmisan and romano pieces in weights
of half a pound or less. We found a couple of chunks of parm that were
over a pound and bought one. Once it's grated, it keeps fresh in our
freezer until needed.
