Today is the Festa di St Ilaria. It is the name day for my second cousin Ilaria which basically means another reason to eat lunch at Melina's house.
Pic: At the back from left are Ilaria, Antonio, Melina and Astrid. At the front are Maria and Irena.
Melina is my cousin, Antonio is her husband and Ilaria and Astrid their two daughters. Maria and Irena are Antonio's aunts.
Today we had two kinds of pasta. The first a north Italian dish of thin tubed pasta with a sauce made from skinned Italian sausage broken up, tomato, cream and cheese.
The second was tagliatelle with a Napolitana sauce. Instead of grated cheese on top we had a mixture of coarsely ground walnuts and breadcrumbs. Yum.
Off to Foggia tomorrow to see more relatives.
