SPAGHETTI WITH PORCINI RAGU

How much parmesan is enough? How long is a piece of string? Do I look fat in this? Life is complicated by unanswerable questions. Some will look at this and think there's way too much cheese. Others will think it's underdone. Others might say that it depends on the quality of the cheese. These are the people who look for excuses for not giving an emphatic answer to any question. (To answer their question, it's a great 3 year old from Reggio.) I can't tell you how long a piece of string is, but I know how long a strand of spaghetti is. And I know the truthful answer to the third question - but I'm not saying.
