I am unsure if I can upload a photo of the book cover and the recipe - it is on page 117, "Sugo Fresco di Pomodoro" (Simple Tomato Sauce). Thank you for your writing and ideas.

End of Pasta Pasta is left-over fluvial gold. Having read (and will ever love) Small Fires I wonder if you ever found the original text by Marcella quoted by Ruth and devoured, experienced, experimented, augmented and endlessly re-made by yourself. I found the exact original recipe in 'Marcella's Kitchen', first published by MacMillan London 1987 UK. The edition I have was published by Papermac (division of MacMillan) in 1988 ISBN 0-333-47336-1. A treasure given to me by my mother in 1988. Kia ora Rebecca (be well), ngā mihi nāku noa Fi from Aotearoa.

thank you fi! I found multiple versions of the marcella recipe in different books - I don't think I have Marcella's Kitchen! I have Marcella Cucina - I will look this one up. and huge thanks for the words of appreciation, very motivating as I write my next book
