We finish with a very "old" recipe: it was always made for Carnival and my mother told me that the "gentlemen" brought it to dinner at the Masked Ball that took place at the Municipal Theatre (it was one of the most important and elegant in Umbria) Thus the rich ate this pie in their theatre boxes!

If the Sweet Macaroni seems odd, then read the following recipe ...!
