                Pici all'aglione
                        Pici all'aglione is a typical Tuscan recipe, particularly from the Siena area, made with pici pasta, a thick, rustic type of spaghetti. Pici all'aglione is a very simple recipe to prepare, yet incredibly satisfying. The original Tuscan recipe also allows for chili pepper (if desired).
PICI all'aglione - serves 2 as a main course or 4 side dish
Ingredients:
5 cloves of slivered garlic
2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of dry white wine

                Zucchini with Calabrese Pancetta
                        We all have more zucchini than we can eat and need to be creative instead of boring. 
So I took some of our Calabrese Pancetta and diced it small and sauted for a couple minutes with a little olive oil . 
Then diced up 3 small zucchini and added to the pancetta and let cook on low for about  20-30 minutes- until the zucchini was tender but not over cooked. That's it!!!!
