In theory, you can't really go wrong with brownies. That being said, I've had some pretty marginal brownies in my day. Dry, cakey, boring. These brownies are not those brownies.

Classic Italian Pasta E Fagioli
Let me preface this by saying that this is not an original receipt. It is however one of my family's favorites and one that I get complements on all the time.

Literally, this time. :) I told myself that the request for a money themed party had to do with the fact that his dad works in finance and not because we were terrible parents raising the next Ebenezer Scrooge. I ...
