Also I would think it would be a half pound box of pasta with two regular (or even large, can you say?)cans of tomatoes. Is that correct? A pound box would be more like pasta in sauce, it seems to me.
Sounds simple and good.
Editor's Note: Whoops, it must be 1 Tbsp. It would be rolling in butter otherwise. : ) I've changed the recipe but will write to her to make sure. thanks for catching that.
Change: I wrote to her and it is 1 stick of butter. I've changed the recipe yet again.
