I had this first at Morti's house while Alicia and I stayed with her just after moving to California. She is allergic to pork, so it didn't have meat in it but was still so delicious that we have it often now that I have my own home. Alicia and I like the sliced spicy intalian sausage links added in. This is a very popular meal in our house now. Great for a weeknight because it is so easy and quick to prepare. Try sprinkling some fresh shredded parmesan cheese over the top.

This really rocked! Really, really loved this dish, and so easy to throw together. I halfed the recipe and used 3 serrano peppers. Made this without the meat, and it was perfect! Did not add the wine, since I was out, and subbed the butter for olive oil. Served this with garlic bread....yummy for our tummies! Thanks for posting!

I live in S.California about 30 mins outside of Palm Springs in the Hi-Desert. I have two daughters 4 Granddaughters. I share my home with my SO, a wonderful guy that is my best friend and our fur kids including 3 hybrid cats (Bengal, Jungle bob and F2 Savannah basset and Min. Schnauzer. I spent 13 years as a Licensed Funeral Director/Branch Manager and Cemetery Broker for a Mortuary/Crematory/Cemetery. Currently, I am an Area Director for a skilled Home Health agency. My sister, Karen from Colorado introduced me to the site when It was founded by Troy and Gay and known as Zaar. She's been at Zaar almost from the start and even worked for them for a while! I'm not on the site much since the changes, but at one time, I was a regular when the forums were a fun place to meet other who enjoyed cooking. I have a tendency to cook by taste, so I don't post many recipes.
