Italian Noodles
Put 2 cups of dried noodles into boiling salted water, let cook twenty minutes, drain, and put in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 cup of tomato sauce or chutney. Season with pepper and salt, and serve on a hot dish, with the top well sprinkled with grated cheese.
Where man was all too marred with sin
The Ass, the Ox were bidden in.
Where Angels were unfit to come
These humble entered holydom.
There in the stable with the beast
The Christmas child hath spread His feast.
These His adorers were before
The Kings and Shepherds thronged the door.
And where no Angels knelt there kneeled
The innocent creatures of the field.
