TOD: I think after about five months or so of not having flour, the pasta cravings are finally getting out of my system. I thought of indulging in a pasta dish the other day, after the visit to the doctor, but nothing much appealed. Still, the thought of flat, large pappardelle with a touch of butter, some white wine, capers and shreds of tuna or rigatoni with a hearty, spicy tomato sauce, with or without sausage, always sounds good to me.
