Pasta! Pasta!

Kardea Brown may be a born-and-raised Southerner, but she has a fondness for Italian food, too. She makes an Italian meal for her friend Julia and starts with Homemade Pasta crafted by hand, without a machine or attachment. She whips up a Carbonara sauce and Roasted Artichokes with Parmesan Breadcrumbs, and dessert is creamy Panna Cotta topped with fresh berries.
