\nPasquetta is my favorite Holiday..it is\u00a0 the day after Easter and\u00a0 a relaxing Holiday..no obligatory sit down meals\u2026no need to spend time looking for greeting cards or gifts..or preparing for large feasts..
\nIf I had to make up my own Holiday this would be it, for it is truly a Holiday, one where you can relax and take a drive with no plan to follow. Just\u00a0 pack some impromptu sandwiches and have a picnic in the mountains or\u00a0 drive to where the road takes you\u2026 a relaxing Holiday for one day..no one is slighted because there is nothing to give or take or make\u2026
\nThis Pasquetta was a day of exploring the Roman countryside\u2026with a visit to a little town, once inhabited by the Etruscans and Charlemagne- the ancient\u00a0 town of\u00a0 Sutri..founded thousands of years before Rome and named after Saturn, the father of the Gods.

\nMy favorite part of the visit was sampling local beans of Sutri, rumored to have given Charlemagne his strength for conquering..I also had fun\u00a0 creating some\u00a0 recipes with this ancient food\u2026
\nA stop at Charlemagne\u2019s castle (what is left of it) though before eating and cooking was a must\u2026

\n 
\nBorlotti al Vino<\/strong> (speckled beans with wine)
\nThis is one of the simplest recipes, and only has a few ingredients.If you don\u2019t have access to the speckled beans of Sutri substitute speckled beans or Borlotti beans.

\n1 tsp freshly chopped basil
\nsalt and freshly ground pepper to taste
