Spaghetti Alla Marinara
SIMPLY DELICIOUSSpaghetti alla maranara is one of the easiest and fastest recipes to make. A nice pile of pasta topped with homemade sauce will liven up the dullest Sunday afternoons.

Don't forget the wine. I know I never do.

MEATBALLS As long as I'm here lets throw in the meatball recipe. This seems to be a good place to put it. This is my grandmother's recipe which while still delicious, I can't seem to get the same flavor as hers and it drives me crazy.
