Recipes of Giada are always great. This one also. I made half the recipe for the 3 of us. And we have at least 2 servings of leftover. It was easy to do. Thanks Maria :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game

I have made this dish every year for Christmas with my prime rib roast. A real crowd pleaser and the left overs are just as good! Would have shared this if you had not have posted already! YUM!!!! It's a must and very easy to make!

Just plain scrumptious. Not difficult to put together and good enough for guests or holidays.
