I know what you’re thinking.
Another post about pasta?! This woman must be carb-crazy!
Well, you’re right. I am a little carb-crazy but I think it’s more about my love of sauce! A couple of nights ago, my momma made some delicious linguine with clam and shrimp Fra Diavolo. Now, I’d like to say that we made the sauce from scratch but sometimes a Crow needs to cut corners. My mom opted for the Wegmans jarred Fra Diavolo sauce and I have to say, I wasn’t displeased.
grillin those clams!
Erin stirring the sauce
Overall it was a bit of a family affair…my sister Erin and I worked the sauce and pasta on the stovetop while Mom grilled the clams. My brother was in charge of sitting on the couch and occasionally flexing or chiming in with his two-cents.
The Story of Mo
Told by Holly
Maureen (Mo) Sullivan is one of the three crows holding down the Jamaica Plain Nest. Originally from New Jersey, she is the first person to introduce the words “yuengling” and “taylor ham” into my vocabulary. Although she still enjoys these nostalgic tastes, her culinary palette goes far beyond these items. Mo is always ready to take on the challenge of a new dish, but is equally happy reinventing the classics. When it comes to beverages, Three Philosophers, Stone, La Chouffe or any other finely crafted brew will stop this crow mid flight. Her Kitchen philosophy is simple: no meal should be created without the accompaniment of great tunes and that the best dinner parties should end with dancing.
Living in a house filled with wonderful yet hungry roommates Mo has become a master at feeding the masses with home cooked meals. Some notable dishes include Vegetarian Chili, Vodka Sauce w/ Linguine, Baked Mac and Cheese, and who can forget all of the Pizza Plans! Mo also happens to be a member of the Crow Bake team, alongside Emily and Riane and has perfected the art of making cheesecakes. She never lets a friend’s birthday pass without whipping up a tasty treat; in return we jokingly refer to her as “Mama” Mo. It is her strong ties to family and friends as well as her inclusive nature that helps to keep us crows such a tight knit group.
