I looked in the pantry and freezer and some “use by” dates were approaching on food I bought in anticipation of corona- inspired shortages. We already ate the first package of frozen Armour meatballs and decided they might be super balls left over from the 1980’s. The Mezzetta sauce was thin but tasted fine. The green beans are from the garden and the gnocchi had wonderful texture and took on a fragrance and flavor from the sauce and made it their own. Half a crusty loaf came from the freezer and of course shaved Parmesan improves everything.
