Vermicelli Sinatra
Vermicelli Sinatra is a favorite for Gary and me to make for New Year’s Eve. It was especially loved by my wonderful mother-in-law, Elaine. One of those traditions that Gary and I enjoy today.
I will always enjoy and treasure the time Elaine and I spent in the kitchen. She got this recipe from a well-known restaurant in New York; I just don’t recall the name.
