MIL and FIL were born in Southern Italy

MIL could make a boiling chicken last a week by making Sugo on Sunday served with the pasta and sauce and then chicken and salad
Sometimes she made the sauce with Blad Bone Steak and occasionally she would make meatballs and serve them with Spaghetti
We always have Penne Pasta with sugo never spgahetti unless it's meatballs

then it would be spun out all week

I once made deep fried Marrow flowers and cut the stalks off she told me to cut them up and put them in the batter

The Lasagne is their regional recipe

I will give you their Easter Speciality nearer the time
