Angelic Scampi

When I sit down to look at a cookbook,
I read it...page by page, cover to cover...like it's a novel.
I even read who submitted the recipe and where they're from.
I especially love to read about the recipe...
if it was handed down in the family and why it's their favorite.
You'll find all of this in

I thought I had angel hair pasta, but didn't. 

I used thin spaghetti and it turned out perfect!

You just don't need to use as much.

I doubled the recipe tonight. 

I knew, even though there was only going

to be three of us at the table tonight, 

it would be eaten up fast! 

Oh, how right I was! We couldn't get enough of it!
