Being an Italian, I grew up eating pasta frequently. Pasta has become my favorite food to eat. I look forward to every Sunday night to have a feast of Italian food! If pasta wasn't such a fattening option, I would definitely eat it way more often and never get tired of it. My favorite pasta to order when I am out at an Italian restaurant is Penne alla Vodka. Its creamy, pink sauce is delightful. My mom's meat sauce is my favorite pasta to eat at home. She spends all day making the sauce. She soaks all the meatballs and sausage in the sauce for hours. This makes the meat so tender that it melts in my mouth. I may be being biased but my mom's meatballs are the best I have ever tasted. Italians love to eat and I sure do love my pasta!
