 So as of now nothing to much is going on in our lives.... I did however come up with a genius idea.......... Since I am here in Asiago not doing a whole lot with my life. In a good way though that is :)! You know I wake at 12 ish, maybe go to the grocrey store, walk the dogs, clean , do laundry, and then I cook dinner. I have found a new love and that is cooking. I have always been a pretty good cook I would say. When I gave up red meat when I was 11 or 12 I had to cook a lot for myself. So I never really minded cooking my own food and trying different ingredients to make my food always better! Plus my parents weren't exactly the best chefs(not to be mean).  They had their specialties don't get me wrong. Here in Asiago the food is so fresh. It's pretty much all organic. So the food here takes flavor really easy. So whenever I get a really good response from Johnny, I have decided to share my recipes with you all! I hope you enjoy! On tonight's menu was a side salad, spaghetti, and fresh bread. Here was my recipe for the spaghetti!
Ingredients:
 Wheat Spaghetti Noodles
Plain Pomoddoro (marinara) Sauce
Basil
3 Garlic Cloves Minced
Oregano
Ground Turkey
Olive Oil
Pesto

Sauce
1- In a large sauce pan put 4 tablespoons of olive oil ( just enough so the pan is covered)
2- Add 1 1/2 minced garlice to the pan, along with a tablespoon of basil,and a tablespoon of oregano. Let the 3 ingredients cook for about 3 minutes.
3- Add anout 4 tablespoons of pesto
4- Add pomoddoro sauce. Stir everything together so it's nicely blended. Let this all simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.  After the 15 minutes is up put a lid on and just set a side.
Helpful Hit: Over here the pomadoro sauce tends to be pretty thick and pretty acidic, so I add about a cup of water and a few sprimkles of sugar. That is just up to you and how you like it!
Ground Turkey
1- In a pan put 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
2- Add the rest of the garlic, add 1 tablespoon of basil, and 1 tablespoon of oregano.
3- Add the ground turkey and cook.  Once the turkey is done cooking add to the sauce. Put the sauce on the burner and put low heat. I usually let this all cook together while I am cooking the noodles, so maybe 10 minutes.

 This is what I do for my spaghettii! Feel free to give or take! If you don't like garlic you don't have to add it! This is just what I do! I also go to the bakery here in town and get fresh bread! I do have a block of fresh parmesan cheese that I grade myself!  If you try this recipe I hope you enjoy! Till next time!
