  • I actually made this 2-3 months ago, saw the picture in my photos today and decided to post it. I usually just wing it when I cook so can only really give you a rough idea. I remember this being one of my favorite pasta dishes I’ve ever made/tried.

    1. Put oil into pan and sautee onions/garlic.
    2. Add butter, once melted add flour to make a roux. (I would suggest a light or medium roux here)
    3. Add heavy cream/milk a bit at a time until you reach the right consistency. Not too thick but not too thin.
    4. Grated parmigiano reggiano and pecorino romano a bit at a time making sure it incorporates properly.
    5. Add tomato sauce. I usually just use what I have on hand, think this time I used strained tomatoes. (I personally don’t like it when it tastes too much like tomatoes so I don’t put much.)
    6. Season and taste the sauce. Salt, pepper and parsley.
    7. Once pasta is cooked al denté, mix into sauce.
    8. For this dish I grilled the sausages separately, added them on top of my pasta, grated more parmesan on top then baked it for a bit.

    I’ve learned over the years that the best food isn’t always complicated. It uses good quality ingredients that compliment eachother. Trust me when I say that using authentic parmigiano reggiano and pecorino romano make a world of difference. I also used fresh parsley from my garden.

    Let me know if you have any questions!




  • I don’t use any social media except for Lemmy. It used to be only Reddit but jumped ship after the API changes. I’m enjoying Lemmy for the most part. Commenting is better because it gets more traction compared to Reddit. Unlike others I actually enjoy having all the varying opinions from “problem” instances. It makes it feel less like an echo chamber, which Reddit was bad for.

    My only issue is because it’s so much smaller than Reddit, there isn’t as much content or niche communities. I miss some of the subs I used to frequent on Reddit. Some of them were made into communities here but barely have any activity, like one post per week. I guess at the end of the day it’s a good thing cause I spend less time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit.




  • They’re giving us bullshit reasons and look how mad people are about it.

    The Canadian federal government has been pushing hybrid for about a year now. When it all started they hosted a town hall to answer questions and stuff. One of the directors told a story about how she is happy to go back to the office because she can go to her local Subway and support the business. This erupted into weeks of memes about how we’re being forced to the office just to keep Subway in business.

    I can’t imagine the response to them outright saying they are doing this to please big businesses and landlords.
