This page is dedicated to Renata, a.k.a. Mamarda. They are all Nonni's recipes. I was lucky enough to get them all before she passed.
Way back then, mom gave me the rights to post her recipes, and trust me they are the best.
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!!!
