My favorite would have to be Marinara. The unmistakable flavor of rich, cooked tomatoes paired with lots of fresh basil and garlic, a touch of red wine and a bit of parmesan -- it just doesn't get any better than this. Put that over any variety of pasta and include an oil and vinegar dressed salad and it spells "Italia" to me.

Gentle Gardeners Turned Homicidal by Pests

I had just put in my 24 tomato and 26 pepper plants when I discovered the next day that something had been nibbling on the tomato plants. Having been a gardener for several years, I knew it had to be the rabbits I see in my yard all the time. While I secretly cursed them in my own mind, I did nothing. A few days later I returned to the garden to check it for watering, and there, in the chicken wire fencing around the garden, was a dead rabbit, suspended from a hole in the chicken wire that it had attempted to squeeze through! I recalled my earlier curse & felt a bit guilty, but then told myself that in Nature's infinite wisdom, this bunny had committed suicide when faced with the guilt of his own crimes, and I was innocent. It was a real pain, however, to try to pull that rigor mortis-stiffened rabbit out of that damn wire!

My favorite "sauce" for spaghetti (or any type of pasta for that matter) is olive oil, garlic, pepper, and Italian chopped parsley!

I love a good slow cooked homemade meat sauce. One with lots of spices, garlic and red wine then cooked on the stove for hours to let the flavors meld together.
