A simple taste of Italian love.
Heat a big pan on the stove top.
1. Add some salt to the dry hot pan.
2. Pour in some light olive oil- 1/4 inch
3. Add some ground pepper
4. Add a few tablespoons of chopped fresh garlic
5. Reduce the heat and let it all cook for about ten minutes.
6. Gather the family around the stove.. children to grand parents
7. Everyone equipped with a bottomless glass of red wine breaks fresh Italian bread or baguettes and dips in the pan, swirling to capture some garlic.
8. Drink your wine, eat your bread, laugh and hug and carry on like tomorrow will never intrude. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Serves as many as will fit around the stove.
Note: This is a religious experience.

Re: The meditation of cooking
You're half way to a marinara - and arrabiata, too!! I love a good arrabiata. I make my own but it's not completely authentic. Yum!!!
I lived with two girls in London for awhile - one half Italian the other not at all - both raised in Italy. The food was amazing.
I still talk to them 16 years later. That was a good time.
I'll hit them up for some recipes!

A good marinara has to have anchovy paste. And I've often added that to the simple mixture!You're half way to a marinara

Really? It can also be used to take the wrinkles out of your scrotum. Apply liberally.

I like my scrotum wrinkles. They've got character. Makes my balls look smart.
