I love this. Our parents hold so many mysteries. I always thought my mom talked SO much, and it wasn’t till she died in 2021 that I realized how much I still don’t know about her. And I love that Italians are not afraid to COOK our vegetables.

Such beautiful writing, and right on time. I've been researching Sicily and love going deeper with you and your family story here.

Thank you for the kind words! They mean so much coming from you. With the regionality of it all there are seemingly endless food traditions to research. I spent the better part of Saturday researching Sfincione Palermitano!

I make this dish often but never with your addition of walnut breadcrumbs. I can’t wait to try that!

The walnut addition to the breadcrumbs is all Jennifer Aaronson ❤️ We hope you like it!

Lovely 😍 I’m glad I found your writing, Linda! Although we live in Como, my ex-MIL is Pugliese. Pasta with broccoli is it’s a staple in our house!
