My baked pasta is a unique, traditional Sunday dish.
My grandchildren are waiting for my invitation with joy, when I see them eating I am so proud. I spend the whole morning cooking it but in the end I rejoice in seeing them enjoy my baked pasta, when they tell me "grandma Sisina's baked pasta is too good".
