My family loves spaghetti. I like the idea of mushrooms and green peas in it. But my hubby doesn't like peas. So mushrooms will do.
Thanks for stopping by at my blog, Cathy. 🙂
Take care.

Dear Catherine,
What a fabulous post. I love your poem, as I can relate to "The Table." Everything revolved around our table when I was younger and at home. From homework, to playing games, to decisions, to tears, to cooking, and of course eating. It was the center of our home and it still is to this day. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to have fond memories.
Your recipe is so yummy...Who doesn't love pasta of any kind? This is another memory for me. My mom and I were talking the other night and we spoke of this type of recipe. My Nanni used to do this all the time, add peas and mushrooms to her sauce and have it with spaghetti. I love this. Your recipe is very similar to hers. Thank you again for sharing this recipe and your poem. You are fabulous! Blessings, Dottie XX

Το τόσο τρυφερό ποίημα σου, με συγκίνησε, γιατί έτσι κι εγώ αντιλαμβάνομαι την οικογένεια. Γύρω από ένα τραπέζι με νόστιμα φαγητά, φτιαγμένα από την μαμά, με πολύ αγάπη!!!
Η μακαρονάδα σου, εξαιρετική! Δεν είχα σκεφθεί αυτήν την εκδοχή, αλλά θα την κάνω σύντομα!
