My Family’s New Year’s Eve Meal for Good Luck in the New Year!
Hi Friends!
Happy New Year!
Christmas Eve, we needed to go to bed early because Santa Clause was coming. On New Year’s Eve, we needed to go to bed early so we would be wide awake at midnight when the family celebrated the New Year.
Family traditions still live within me to this day. On New Year’s Eve right after the ball dropped my Grandmother would be in the kitchen making Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, better known as spaghetti with garlic and oil.
My Grandmother made this dish with anchovies which we loved to hate, but it was the way she cooked them into the oil, those hairy little fish just melted away and all there was to the sauce was a deep flavor that made it irresistible.
Here it is without the anchovies.
