We had to do it big this time since this was probably the longest I had ever gone with out devouring in my favorite dish (well….lasagna is, but close enough). Tonight, we decided to make our own sauce to make this meal extra special and it was absolutely delicious! Maybe next post we will make our own pasta and truly do it the real Italian way with homemade wine?! Who knows…stay tuned. What you will need..
