SPAGHETTI CARUSO FOR 2

Spaghetti Caruso for 2 image

I first ate this wonderful dish in San Francisco (it was a favorite of the famous Tenor, +created by him). Although rich (I only prepare it VERY occasionally), it's well worth the calories and cholesterol. Although I can go home S.F. and EAT IN N. Beach (an Italian Area of S.F.), I try and recreate the feel of a real Italian restaurant.
