Marco Polo spaghetti recipe/ Julia Child

One of our families favorites.  We also like it with green olives and black beans as optional additions. My husband heard this recipe a long time ago while driving in the car and he copied it down.  It can be found at various websites.  Julia Child did a demonstration of it on the Mr. Rogers' show  https://www.misterrogers.org/videos/julia-child/?fbclid=IwAR3uz1vdSEJ7QVGBSB49dtCazCBe13VgfeV60hmrRLYiNW78Dqq2HSpzAVA  also here
