  1. Thank you. This is easy and delicious. My husband has been to Sicily several times and loved the sauce he had. Simple can really be gourment when prepared properly. The technique is what makes this recipe special. The tips on serving are great! Thanks!

I am Sicilian American (Italian for those who do not know what Sicilian is) I love Food...Food, Food, Food. Maybe that is why i am a member of a website strictly for Recipe's!lol. I am also trying to watch what i eat so i am always on the hunt for new low fat/ low cal meals. I am a devoted and loving house wife and mother. My favorite Cookbooks are one with pics...easy is good! I hate very bready or blan recipes! Can not stand them...ie, dry bread like cookies, or very blan dinners. I love to taste things, so blan is not in my vocabulary.
