Pasta
Pasta is a flexible, carbohydrate-packed food that's not only easy to cook but also stores effectively in its dried state. With hundreds of varieties available, many are unique to specific regions of the world. In this section, we highlight simple, comforting pasta dishes that are both healthy and delicious.
Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
