"This is the greatest gift I can give to myself and those I love: a big bowl of pasta with the works. Every Christmas I make this dinner; I cant finish any year without it. Ive made small improvements in the recipe over the yearsits faster and easier to make than ever. For Italians, after all that fish on Christmas Eve, this dish, with five types of meat in it, is the payoff. Serve with tomato, basil and mozzarella salad (the colors of the season and the Italian flag). Have a great year!..."
