Ditalini with Pork and Peas

Saturday, March 12, 2016
Ditalini with Pork and Peas is tiny pasta with meat sauce and peas.


Grandma called this depression food as it was an inexpensive meal her mom growing up that fed the whole family easily on a budget.


This dish really can be made with any kinds of beans, meats, or pasta.


The meal is quick and easy to prepare besides being delicious and we make this often on cooler days.


My grandmother would always make this during the week to finish up any leftover Sunday sauce and whatever meat was in the sauce instead of boneless pork meat as we do now.


Again as I mentioned any meat or even meatless is fine the sauce is delicious
