SUCCULENT PAPPARDELLE AL CINGHALE

A TUSCAN MEAL FOR MEREDITH AND BRANDON


HAPPILY THEY HAD AN INVITING DISH OF HOME MADE PAPPARDELLE (LARGE NOODLES) WITH WILD BOAR SAUCE.


BRANDON AND MEREDITH COOKED THE WHOLE MEAL ALWAYS WITH A JOYFUL SMILE ON THEIR FACE.
THE FINAL WAS BRILLIANT WITH THE "ZUPPA INGLESE": A DESSERT ORIGINAL FROM  FLORENCE WITH THIS KIND OF BRITISH SOUND IN THE NAME....
