?Great Sauces Transform Good Food into Gourmet??
Wooing Italian style
Good food brings people together. Lincoln is a food aficionado. He loves to eat good food and tailors his rigorous exercise program to encompass the dishes he loves. So it?s no surprise that when I asked Lincoln and Christi how they met, the story included New Mexico and this fabulous Italian pasta sauce.While dating Christi, Lincoln made this thick and chunky spaghetti sauce loaded with sliced mushrooms on more than one occasion and basically wowed her. That turned into wooing and now they share their love of good food on their life journey together. A terrific cook in her own right, Christi cooks ?made from scratch? dishes for him on a regular basis. I can vouch because I?ve dined at their table and exchanged recipes cards with them, the kind that have a splash of tomato sauce
on one corner and a thumb print of olive oil on the other.
Is there someone in your life you want to draw closer? This spaghetti sauce could be just the ticket. At a minimum, it?s a meaty, savory dish that?ll bring together family and friends.
