FRIENDS - FOOD - PASTA SAUCE

My South Philly friend Vincent Franza, for 60 plus years, has contributed his favorite pasta recipe to share with everyone. It is nothing like I have ever done. It is most unique and I'm sure you will love to try it. He calls it "Pasta Al Vincenzo". Check it out in Pasta Sauces.

I decided to begin with Vince's because it is so unique and it confirms my attitude of Family, Friends, Neighbors and Food.

In the summer of 1950, in our teens, Vince and I decided to spend a day on the boardwalk of Atlantic city. We did, but missed the last bus back to Philly.  So we spent the night standing in front of a radio broadcast booth on the boardwalk and the disc jocky was happy to have a live audience in the wee small hours of the morning. We did catch the first bus back to Philly and went to his house. He woke his sister who made us an incredible breakfast, eggs, pancakes, bacon and more. We ate it all.

I had to be at the WIP radio station's recording studio by 9:30 am to record a couple of songs for a demo. We made it on time. The composer was pleased.

Please check out Pasta Sauces that begin with "Pasta Al Vincenzo". Thank you.
