I have had this and the ingredients I remember are thin spaghetti, ricotta cheese, egg, raisins.
Not sure if there was anything else. Can you help me find this recipe.
Thank you

Hi Geri,
There are recipe possibilities on these sites. They have pasta and ricotta and raisins and egg.

I had very little success searching for “Italian pudding”. It’s too vague. There are many desserts that,
if someone didn’t know the Italian name for them, might call “Italian pudding”. Recipes for your dish
might not call for “thin spaghetti”, but might call for another pasta or just “pasta” or even just “noodles”.
The above two recipes are about the best that I can do unless you can give me more information. I have Italian
food dictionaries and encyclopedias, but without at least an approximation of the Italian name of the dish, they
are useless. Where did you have the dish? If it was a restaurant, what was the name and location of the restaurant?

Dr. Phaedrus,
We are trying to find Crosse & Blackwell's Chocolate Flavored Nut Roll. It is a canned bread. I saw your posts on a
couple of their products as discontinued. I am looking at the label now. Mom kept it all of these years.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Linda,
Sorry, no luck. It appears that when Crosse & Blackwell discontinued the date nut roll, they discontinued all of the nut roll-type products.
I had no success finding a copycat recipe.

Mama Leone's Ziti With Broccoli
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time : 0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 pound broccoli -- fresh (to 1 1/2)
2 tablespoon butter
8 parsley sprigs -- leaves only
1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- grate fresh
2 lg garlic cloves -- mashed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper -- fresh ground
3/4 pound ziti
Cut stems off broccoli and wash thoroughly. Chop parsley and garlic together. Steam broccoli in a little water in
a covered saucepan for about 25 minutes. In another pot cook the ziti in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes.
Combine olive oil, butter, parsley, and garlic. Stir to get flavor of garlic. Warm this sauce for 2 minutes, but do
not cook or burn.
Drain broccoli and ziti as soon as cooked. Place both in the hot pot the ziti was cooked in and pour the sauce
mixture over both. Sprinkle on the cheese and black pepper, stir, and serve immediately. Have a loaf of good Italian
Bread and a bottle of Barolo. Instead of dessert, try a mixed rugola and dandelion salad with Italian Salad Dressing
and a soft Brie and Bel Paese cheese.
This recipe is from "Leone's Italian Cookbook."
