IF YOU HAD TO EAT THE SAME MEAL OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Hands down.. Italian food. I am a card junkie and I am a sucker for a good pasta meal. I really think I was Italian in a former life because everything about being Italian fascinates me. The food, the drink, the family values, and yes even the mob. I would have loved to live on the old Al Capone days. My dream in life is to go to Italy, like Tuscany or somewhere, and just bask in the sun and eat pasta! Here is a recipe for one of my favorite pasta dishes. It may not be true Italian but it is a good pasta dish!
