This was tonights dinner. Spaghetti (too lazy to go into the basement and
get the linguine) with a spicy vodka sauce. It was really good but forgot to
puree it because DH hates lumps in his pasta sauce. Oh well.
It came out great. Really nice but could've been spicier. DH wouldn't have
liked it spicier.
