Thursday 1 October
Barbara bought Holt an edible
souvenir from Taormina: a bag of dried condimento
di pasta di Sicilia, made up of lots of parsley, garlic, and fiery little peperoncini (she wisely passed up the
bag labeled "fuoco dell’Etna").
It came into use quicker than we
wanted: we had prepared some fresh fettucine so that Lauren and Zac could come
over for the basil harvest, but Zac fell ill (which is what he gets from
hanging around sick people all the time).
So we served our fettucine to just ourselves, using the hydrated condimento. It was fiery and garlicky enough for anyone, but
probably needs to simmer longer, maybe with an admixture of tomatoes.
