My daughter loves her Nonna’s sauce, which is very simple to make but I cannot make it the same way
the same way for some strange reason it’s either too sour or salty or not sweet enough.
Do you have a simple pasta sauce recipe. Maybe I could follow something written down
instead of something told to me over the phone, it’s just not working for me.
By the way I love your Blog and the new format too.

This look like some great recipes to try. Many people don’t know it, but there is HUGE Italian community in New Orleans and there is a very large Italian influence on New Orleans cuisine. Italian importers came over a hundred years ago and began importing vegetables, oils, and other Italian staples through the Port of New Orleans.
