A really KILLER back-o-the-box recipe .....

[Stinky The Clown]

I got this off the back of a box of DiCecco farfalle. I cooked 'roni's cuz of my new copper pot. I fancied it up cuz Spakly had a bad few days and needed some comfort food.

Saute some garlic in a bit of olive oil.

Add a can of plum tamadas (San Marzanos, dontcha know) all crushed up, but discrenable as tamada chunks. Add two cans of salmon. I used that really, really high quality Kirkland skinless/boneless Atlantic stuff from Costco. Let that simmer for about twenny minnits.

Add some salt and pepper to taste and just a dash of red pepper flakes. (I overdid the pepper just a tad). Just before you yank it off the fire, add lots of chopped parsley and stir it in.

Pour over the 'ronis.

Add more parsley as a garnish. Use a lot.

Eat it.

MmmmmMMMMMmmmmMMMMM .... this was one back-o-the-box that really was better than you might think.

I'm stuffed.

1. I can't wait to tell my spouse

Because he's the one that writes their recipes.

Go check out their Web site. He wrote or edited all those recipes, too.

3. This sounds just too good! I am going to Costco

7. yes, many times a year

He visits the factories. They talk about the dies, which I believe are brass cut. I don't really understand it all but one thing I have learned is the dies they use to cut their pasta makes a difference in how well the sauce adheres to the pasta. After using De Cecco on a regular basis, I could never use a pasta of lower quality.

8. Yes, the dies make all the difference in the world to how a macaroni .....

..... 'performs' in use.

Also, did you know that CeCecco and Barilla are number one and two in Italy? I don't know which one is the number one seller.

5. What is their web site? HELP!!!!

I googled up 'dicecco' .... 'dicecco pasta" ...... "dicecco macaroni" and couldn't find them.

4. I'm emailing this to my hubby.

Maybe he'll take the hint and cook it. :)

Hey, Tony! :hi:

9. Sounds good.

I love quick "pantry meal" recipes. You know, the kind of recipe that you can throw together in a few minutes from items commonly found in the pantry.

My husband loves salmon, so I will definitely give this one a try.
