Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
We must have started to get a little health conscious around August 1988(when this recipe is dated). It has Faye's initial on it. The whole wheat pasta and low fat yogurt and reduced calorie mayonnaise all were an attempt to offset the damage from the decadent dessert, I am sure.
