SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO
No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

SPAGHETTI CARUSO FOR 2
I first ate this wonderful dish in San Francisco (it was a favorite of the famous Tenor, +created by him). Although rich (I only prepare it VERY occasionally), it's well worth the calories and cholesterol. Although I can go home S.F. and EAT IN N. Beach (an Italian Area of S.F.), I try and recreate the feel of a real Italian restaurant.

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA (CHARCOAL-MAKER'S SPAGHETTI)
This is often requested by my friend Linda J.'s family. They don't make it too often because it is so very rich, but when they do they enjoy it with a leafy green salad and crusty bread. Another from my "birthday book".
