lil bit of olive oil in the pan . . . and we finish with a lil olive oil in the soup, it's like a minnestrone..... heat up then olive oil...... i drizzle some olive oil this helps to keep the pasta from sticking to each other. olive oil, just a touch of olive oil. and we finish with that olive oil, gives it that italian finish, olive oil to garnish. we marinade this in olive oil, olive oil.
