Way too many carbs in that for me, but there was a time when that would have been a good meal! :)

This is a Brazilian way of cooking spaghetti. There are two things that the Italian community in Brazil does best than in Italy, pizza and spaghetti.

The kinds and quality of cheeses and the other products that exists in Brazil gives a great help. Another thing is the translation of the recipes that are very difficult "uva passa" is not raisins but I couldn't find better word on English dictionary. I will post one image that may help.

I have long thought about posting or not this recipe but I can guarantee that is one of the best on mix flavors between the sweet and the salty with flavor and texture of the mushrooms with the flavor of the nutmeg.

Noz Moscada - Nutmeg

Now maybe you could help me to find the right words.

Those are just golden raisins. My wife just doesn't eat "sweet and salty" at the same time. Salty is in the meal but sweet is for desert.

That is a question of taste, nothing to say about that. I like mix flavors.

Pizza with fruit is very nice. :)

When we make tomato based spaghetti sauce, a little brown sugar does wonders to mellow out the acid of the red tomatoes. Sweet and salty are great together. Just think of chocolate covered pretzels. :)
