You mean besides the meat, spices and cheeses - NOTHING !

When my Nana was teaching my generation her recipes we always enjoyed the time she spent with us. No matter how many times we tried the recipe it never tasted quite the same. I was talking to one of my aunts one day and mentioned this. She told me not to worry, Nana NEVER gave out a a complete recipe. From then on we video taped her as she made the dish.

She also used a "pinch" of this and two fingers of that. So we assigned someone to take the ingredient in her hands and measure it.

My wife, with her Irish-English heritage, has been a fabulous Italian cook ever since. (I've always been a good cook. LOL)
