For those of you who had the great pleasure of knowing Nonni, you will understand the meaning of: "A little bit of this, and a little bit of that" (quanto basta, meaning as much as you need).

 

When I use to ask her: "So mom, is it ½ cup or ¼ cup?, she'd says: "Well you know, just a little bit." So I'll try to give specific measurements where I can, but otherwise you're on your own. Truthfully, you can't muck up anything as most of it is based on taste.

Enjoy! I know Nonno sure did :)

Other great quotes received from Nadine: "A tavola non si invecchia”...one does not age at the table!

Ya gotta love it!!!
