Strega Nona

Strega Nona -- "Grandma Witch" -- is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. He is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, Big Anthony recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results. Whenever Big Anthony sees Strega Nona sing to the pot, it magically fills with spaghetti. What Anthony doesn't see is the three kisses Strega Nona blows to make the pot stop. Big Anthony is helpless when pasta flows everywhere.
