This meal was a complete failure if you judge it by what I was aiming for. When I first started this recipe I wanted to come up with a traditional Italian recipe. Now I know I am not Italian in any way other than I am married to one. But I wanted to make something that Italians would have made before Tomatoes were brought back from the new world. I wanted to do this because it is so amazing to me how tomatoes are such a huge part of Italian cuisine when they were not native to Europe much less Italy! So I thought about what we had on hand and went about making a pre-New World inspired recipe... Only to realize once I was finished that I had added potatoes... A darn New World ingredients!!! No matter how I tried I could not escape Columbus it seems. Regardless of what I was trying to do, Zo really loved this recipe. So much so that she over ate a had a little tummy ache. So enjoy the Nuovo Mondo sauce or as I will cal it my old world failed attempt.
