Linguine al Cartoccio is an exquisite Italian dish where pasta is baked “en papillote” (wrapped in parchment paper or foil), allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. The dish is often made with seafood and a light tomato-based sauce #italy #food

Tonight is the night of La Befana! She is a good witch of Italian folklore who flies on her broom to deliver gifts to all Italian children on this night. May we all be blessed by this strega buona 🧙‍♀️ #WitchSky
