After the holidays' festivities and the end of the
year, here was New Year's Day (Capodanno). The
first day of 2013, we celebrated with lots of tasty and delicious dishes, cooked in a variety of ways, making our table very cheerful. These were simple
dishes made with ease that we
shared and enjoyed with family and friends with the hope that all our dreams
would come true.
One of my favorites: SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI AND CLAMS
