Although we didn’t get to enjoy Gern’s participation in an overdue gathering of the Roediger House regulars, last Sunday’s mealtime still proved a joyful reunion. The travel season this fall had me out of place so much that these occasions have felt too few and so very far between. I reached for an old favorite: baked spaghetti, a recipe I’ve been making for almost 30 years now.
A dish like this seems to improve when it can have a salad to go with it, especially when there is homemade dressing with which to top it. And we have become sort of fond of big bubbly focaccia around here, and the lazy Sunday afternoon gave me plenty of opportunity to indulge its easy but time-spansive prep process.
