Strozzapretti with Tomato Sauce and Basil

Strozzapretti with Tomato Sauce and Fresh Basil

Strozzapretti. Means 'priest stranglers' in Italian.

Sometimes food is serious business. Sometimes it just makes you laugh. That was the case when I saw the name of this pasta in the last Corti Brothers quarterly newsletter, and I knew I had to buy it.

Last season I made several quarts of tomato sauce to keep us going until this summer's sauce time, and Todd grabbed a bag of it from the freezer for this pasta. We have fresh basil in the garden right now, and it was a perfect excuse for a simple dinner after a long day at the office. We finished our meal with a fresh salad from the garden.
