I love watching Lidia Bastianic make Gnocchi. Wish I could get to the point of making pasta without having to really THINK about it!

I make a terrific Pumpkin Sauce to go over Ravioli. I would snag a Pie Pumpkin from work, make the sauce, then bring it and Ravioli in the crock pot for my crew at work during the Fall. Rave revues!

Sincerely missing the days when I had a lot of people to cook for. I need to go cook at a prison, LOL!
