@littlek,
I wanna hear more, when and if you have time, K.
Me, I'm making today's version of spaghetti all'amatriciana crossed with spaghetti all'arrabiata plus this and that.
Spaghetti al Osso Forgetto:
So, 1 tbs of butter and splash of olive oil, to sizzle two cloves' worth of minced garlic, can of petite diced tomatoes with basil and garlic, something like 1/4 c of oldish red wine, a few cans of water, cut up thawed previously cooked bacon strips, 3 relatively red dried chiles including the seeds, some frozen french cut green beans. I'm waiting for the pasta to cook (ordinary, daVinci).
Have on hand some parsley to add at last minute. I've some parmesan too, not the best stuff. Probably won't add the parm.
