Hi guys! Long thyme no see (Haha- get it? Time is ‘Thyme’. Cause it’s a food blog, and you put thyme on food... oh, forget it.) Since it’s getting close to Christmas, my friends and I decided to share our holiday family traditions, and I was particularly proud of mine. When I was little, my parents and I had a special holiday tradition where we would go to Romano’s Macaroni Grill on New Year’s Eve. My seven year old self loved it- cheese ravioli, pizza, spaghetti, and the good old American favorite (and the restaurant’s namesake) macaroni and cheese. The spaghetti was my personal favorite, as well was the free bread accompanied by balsamic olive oil vinaigrette. Even when all the bread was eaten, there was often still dipping oil left. As most of you know, I LOATHE letting good food go to waste, so one New Year’s, I decided to pour the extra oil onto my plain spaghetti noodles. And it was DELICIOUS. My taste buds just exploded with all kinds of flavors. To this day, that is the only stuff I will ever put on my spaghetti (at least at home). Now you can enjoy this delicious sauce with your fave pasta at home. If you don’t have the time to boil the water and strain the pasta, here’s an easier (and slightly faster) way ()(watch the video below). Happy Holidays! P.S. I’ve noticed more and more people are choosing the gluten-free diet, either because of allergies, doctor recommendations, or just because it’s popular and they want to seem cool. To accommodate those who can’t/won’t eat gluten, you can make this sauce with gluten free or vegetable pasta. Follow Steph on her blog! Great Eats!
