I was intrigued by this one Tamy & it sounds really good! Confused by egg at end of directions. Do you add all the beaten egg into the warm tomato pesto sauce? Were you just talking about tempering the egg first when you said add a little sauce to egg?
ReplyDeleteI can see what you mean. I reworded it to make more sense, but yesit was tempering I was talking about :D
DeleteThanks Hon - I figured that's what you meant, but wanted to be sure. ;)
