SIMPLY PASTA

What to cook for dinner when you don not have much time and ingredients? The answer is simple- PASTA. I love PIZZA and PASTA. I could be an Italian :DD They are so loud and expressive-saying in one word full of live. To create special Italian atmosphere there must be some Italian music.


I chose La Donna E Mobile by Luciano Pavarotti.Hope you like it:D

-onion-finely chopped
