Bob’s Famous Goulash

This has always been one of my dad's signature dishes. I remember during his working years, this was the dish that gave everyone else time off form cooking daily meals. Back then, a dad doing that was a signature event!

Spaghetti With Meat Sauce

This is the family authentic recipe from Italy. Rosemary Peritore's mother from Napoli is the original source. She used to make her own pasta and have it drying all over the house.

Spaghetti Carbonara

When I was a child growing up in Italy, I heard this recipe was developed in Rome during WWII to please the American soldiers who were used to bacon and eggs with milk, and the pepper looks like charcoal off the hands of charcoal workers. The Pecorino Romano and spaghetti were local, of course. I've heard other plausible versions that predate the war, but this was the first I heard so I like this one best.
