[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

Antonios and Athina, you both are sooooo funny! I am surprised you used linguini pasta instead of long noodles. Long noodles hold so much of the sauce and bechamel, which oozes all that great flavor, linguini does not have the holes? In any case, would have been great if youtube was more futuristic and we could have tatsted it as well, ha! Efgaristo poli!
