San Marino

Tonight's country is San Marino which, if you are like me and have no idea what/where it's located, is an independent republic smack in the middle of Italy.  Apparently it has enjoyed independence since 1291 though my American educated self has never heard of it before. It doesn't have an army and I'm not entirely sure you would know you crossed any borders if you traveled through on a road trip in Tuscany. I was seriously tempted to make nidi di rondine (a rolled pasta/prosciutto dish smothered in bechamel) but, prosciutto isn't really included in my pregnancy diet so I opted instead for pasta e cece (pasta and chickpeas).
