It is a delicate balance of salty and sweet things, the sweet tomato sauce with the salty brine of calamata olives. It is one of my favorite dishes. The ingredients list is as follows:</p><p>1 32 oz. can of ground peeled tomatoes</p><p>1 6 oz. can of tuna (preferably in olive oil)</p><p>1 medium yellow onion (shallots are a nice substitute)</p><p>3 or so cloves of garlic</p><p>Olive Oil</p><p>Red Wine (optional)</p><p>Calamata olives(yeah greek or spanish olives are ok too)</p><p>Salt</p><p>Black Pepper</p><p>Fresh Basil (which I did not have, sacrilege! but I did have wine which sort of makes up for it)</p><p>Linguini (I like the flat shape, but you can use spaghetti)</p><p>If you like a little more kick you can add red pepper, but be warned, this is a delicate dish. It is very easy to overwhelm the more subtle flavors. The same can be said for how much garlic you use (this means you Brian!) </p><p>Tradionally this meal has NO CHEESE grated or otherwise. Why you ask? it's a tomato sauce after all?<br /></p><p>Well, the reason is that it has fish in it. I can't fully explaiin why this is a no-no, but it sure as hell is. When it was served in my house cheese wasn't even put on the table. </p><p>You heathens can do as you please, but remember what I said about delicate flavors. Both Parmesan and Romano cheeses are quite salty, so keep that in mind. it is not hard to overwhelm this dish. If you want to over load your sauce with cheese might I suggest sauce from a can?</p><p> </p><p>Sal </p><p> </p></div></description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title/><link>http://smancini.blogspot.com/2006/05/rain-is-getting-to-me.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><pubDate>Mon, 15 May 2006 21:17:00 -0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418303.post-114774586096982666</guid><description><div class="hVlog" align="center"><a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Grendel-mondayMorning452.mov" rel="enclosure" type="video/quicktime" onclick="vPIPShow('height=256, name=Mancini, autostart=true')"> <img src="http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/Grendel-mondayMorning909.jpg" /><br /></a><div class="blip_description">The rain is getting to me.
