The Peapod Squad, especially Snap Pea, LOVES spaghetti. That probably makes sense given their Italian heritage. Hubby is 1st-generation Italian-American. His parents immigrated here from Southern Italy. His mom (“Grandma”) is an amazing cook. Amazing.
My mom (“Nana”) has many talents. She is one of the most creative people I know. She’d be the first to admit, however, that cooking isn’t really her “thing.”
So you’d think the squad would prefer Grandma’s authentic Italian spaghetti, right?
Nope.
“Nana spaghetti” is without a doubt Snap’s very favorite food. He eats a TON of it when Nana makes it. He begs for it every time we visit. He has asked Nana to teach Grandma how to make it. Yes. He wants his all-American Nana to teach his 100% Italian Grandma how to make a quintessentially Italian dish.
Thankfully, Grandma has a great sense of humor and adores Snap. So rather than being offended by this ridiculousness, she laughs herself silly when Snap tells her she should “pwobabwy ask for Nana’s wecipe.”
And Nana? Well, she loves it. Why wouldn’t she? Especially when she sees Snap inhaling a big plate full of her signature “Nana spaghetti.”
Mangia! Mangia!
