Casey shares some terrifying family secrets. Emily reveals her deep dislike of Russian literature. And we chat about women’s work—in the home and in the world, why both are important, what the Church has to say about it, how it’s changed with time, and how Catholics can be witnesses to creativity in making family the priority for both men and women.

A recipe adapted from a recipe Stephanie Weinert adapted from someone else
Feeds: 4 adults
Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time; 20 minutes
1 pound Bucatini Pasts (or Spaghetti)
1 pound bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 eggs
1 cup Parmesan
Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
In a large bowl, beat three eggs; add parmesan and a lot of fresh pepper (maybe 20 turns of the peppermill)
Bring a large pot of water to boil; when boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente; reserve 1 cup of pasta water; drain and return to pot, covering to keep warm.
While pasta cooks, fry bacon and garlic clove; when cooked, drain about half the grease into a bowl or mason jar; add remaining bacon and drippings into egg mixure; immediately add pasta and stir until coated; if it seems dry, add equal amounts of bacon drippings and pasta water, until you like the consistency (it should be creamy but not watery); add additional pepper and crushed red pepper to taste.
