Mom's Pasta E. Gagiolo

Why I Love This Recipe

I found this recipe in a Democratic Women's Cookbook, I loved it so much! I have shared this recipe with so many people I don't think I could actually count. Life has a way of coming full circle. In 1997, St. Joseph's Church in South Troy, NY was celebrating it's 150 anniversary to make it special our pastor at the time thought a cook book would be wonderful. My sister, Debbie was on the committee, we used it as a way to help get all our old family recipes in it so that they were in one place. I forgot to submit the recipe.

We inside the pages of this book, I found my Pasta E. Gagiolo recipe by another parishioner. Thanks Mary!
