For New Year’s we’re making traditional Pasta alla Norcina—with Sausage, Creamy Ricotta, Parmigiano and a hit of Truffle flavor
Watch the video recipe 👉 https://youtu.be/n_Lno8ViZb4
📜 Traditional… in theory.

Then family reality kicks in 😂
– “No cheese for me.”
– “No sausage, please.”
– “Sausage and cheese, but no mushrooms.”
– “Mushrooms and cheese, but not that sausage.”
– “I’ll take everything of course!”

End result: 4–5 versions of the same dish cooking at once.
A home kitchen that turns into a full restaurant.
Luckily… every version is delicious 😄🍝

Is your family dinner like this too?
👉 What are you serving as your "primo" for New Year’s?

Perfectly cooked meat doesn’t require guesswork — or expensive gadgets.

A good thermometer is one of the smartest kitchen upgrades you can make. It gives you peace of mind, consistent results, and takes the stress out of cooking beef, poultry, or roasts.

This one is accurate, easy to use, and far more affordable than most people expect — which makes it a great Christmas gift for anyone who cares about cooking meat properly.

👉 It costs less than you think: amzn.to/49egaj7 (#afflink)

🎄 Sometimes the best gifts aren’t flashy — they’re the ones you use every time you cook.
