Crazy joy in pasta. Is that weird?

Truly, there are few meals that I get as much joy out of as pasta. 

Boiling the noodles. Adding whatever sort of delicious extras I might find. Spooning homemade sauce over the top and dumping sprinkling grated parmesan and romano cheeses over top.

Perhaps I enjoy this creation so much because I channel my inner grandmother, and all the love she poured into her pasta for us growing up. ;)

And yes, I made sure to write that down on my 'gift list'. :)
