Rosa is back from Milan, and with us into mid October.
And today she cooked Pasta e patate, which is a southern Italian dish and is just what it says it is ... pasta and potatoe.
Rosa was born in Naples and grew up there, only moving to the north in the early 1970s.
And so almost all she cooks is from the south.
I usually do the cooking in the house but when Rosa is here my job of cooking is relegated to the washing up.
After all why settle for pale imitations of Italian food when you can have the real thing?
Some of the pasta was left over from yesterday to which she added more, along with the potatoes and cooked in a tomatoe sauce.
During the cooking some of the potatoes disolved and helped add a thicker consistenecy to the sauce.
And that is all I have to say.
