576, PASTA MARGHERITA
Having one day, my poor friend Antonio Mattei of Prato (of which I will have the opportunity to talk again), eaten in my house this pasta wanted the recipe, and immediately, from that industrious man he was, bringing it to a greater degree of perfection and reducing it very fine, put it on sale in his shop. He told me then that the meeting was such a sweet that almost did not make lunch for those campaigns that were not ordered. So people willing to open a path in the world seize any opportunity to try their luck, which, although sometimes dispenses its favors on a whim, never shows itself never friend to the lures and poltroni.
