A friend of mines mom was making pasta sheets, which I thought was to be for ravioli or manicotti crepes. Turns out she was making something I never heard of "grandmother's handkerchief". I decided to combine this with a soup recipe. Enjoy!!

Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.

Bobby Lovera's Skillet Carbofredo with Grilled Sea Scallops by Bobby Lovera

Carbonara, the Coal Miner's pasta. Can be made with eggs for a sticky frittata style or without eggs for a creamy thick style. Mine has the best of both worlds. Oooh That Sauce! Prociutto is more salty than pancetta and less greasy than authentic Hog Maws but any good tasty ham can be used. If you love it... Do it! I like mine…
