The Gospel According to Stumpy

But the beauty here is how it can be dressed up or dressed down. Chop some fresh basil and sprinkle on top, and it's a light, flavorful meal. Out of tomatoes? Just put some extra butter in there. Have wine in the fridge? Deglaze with it and let everything simmer down, getting the tomatoes all soft. Have chicken? Toss it in. I had some blue cheese crumbles the other day, so they went in when it was all being tossed together, and got melted and gooey and oh so flavorful. Ditto for feta. One day when I was craving spice but felt too poor for Indian food, I shook in a bunch of red pepper flakes, which definitely added some heat! Of course, when I have cream, I add a few tablespoons to turn it delightfully sinful. (Although sometimes it curdles a little, maybe because I haven't let the wine boil off all the way? It's still edible, just not as good.) Endless variations, always yummy, I could make this every day.

I've seen this written on ancient scrolls on trip I once took half way across the earth to the dead sea. My cheeks are wet (don' ask which cheeks)
