Live Action Quick Tips
Did you know….
Although we think of spaghetti with tomato sauce as the quintessential Italian dish, tomatoes didn’t become part of the Italian diet until the 1800s. And the first recipe for pasta with tomato sauce actually appeared in a French cookbook from 1797. So the tomato-based pasta sauces we tend to think of as typically Italian – bolognese, pomodoro, puttanesca – are actually more recent developments.
Of these, puttanesca has the most colorful history. A spicy spaghetti dish of tomatoes, capers, anchovies and garlic, the name literally translates to “whore’s spaghetti.” According to popular legend, this dish was what prostitutes would cook while waiting on their next appointment. In actuality, a restaurant owner made up the dish after a group of late arriving customers instructed him to make pasta “facci una puttanata qualsiasi”, roughly translated as “make any kind of garbage.” The slang term for garbage is derived from the word puttana, which also means prostitute, giving the sauce its famous name.(history.com)

I’m not going to tell you anything different than you already know. We’re not going to talk about sauces or if you add broccoli to your spaghetti.
What I want to talk about is how you enhance whatever spectacular masterpiece you create into a delectable work of art that you will always cherish and remember.

I just made my spaghetti with all Italian sausage with whole wheat noodles to get my fix of fiber and added barbecue sauce to my pasta sauce to make it a complete success. Sprinkle some ground Parmesan cheese on it with a little bit of hot sauce and you are truly living the dream. That’s live action eating!
