Sicilian Pasta Salmon Sauce
"This recipe was handed down from my husband's Sicilian grandmother to his mother and now to me. This is a wonderful recipe that is a favorite of the entire family. And it's easy, too. Not a 'traditional American' pasta sauce, but a real, honest to goodness Sicilian sauce. Don't leave out the saffron or pignoli!"
