When we got to Positano last Thursday, there were posters everywhere about the Festa del Pesce which would take place that Saturday evening on Fornillo Beach.

September 17, 2011
I have been making homemade pasta the past month and when I first came across caramelle di pasta all’uova in a restaurant near Senigallia, I loved the shape.
