Zia and I were invited for pranzo to her friend Jeannette’s
condo for dinner. She made a delicious pasta al forno (baked penne), and for
seconds we had sweet Italian sausage and veggies. We also had a type of sausage wrapped in pancetta (Italian bacon) that was a first for me.
Tonight during my walk, I got a little hungry,
and I stopped at Lo Spuntino, which is my favorite place to get pizza d’asporto
(pizza to go). I picked up one slice with tomato sauce, onions, and some
cheese. The other piece was white with pepperoni verde (green peppers),
salsiccia piccante (spicy sausage) and mozzarella cheese. The dough they use is
delicious, made with locally produced flour.
