I'd add that the noodles were not the PITA that I anticipated. I boiled them for about 12 minutes in salted water and a glug of olive oil. Once drained, I rinsed them in cold water and then laid them out on a towel until I was ready to use them. They didn't stick together at all. I don't like having a bunch of things to do at once so, from there, I cooked the mushrooms in the same pot and had those down and set aside before turning my attention to the sauce.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
