Simple, yet satisfying, just like something my grandmother (who was from Calabria) would make. That is probably the best compliment I can give it! Thanks so much for posting this, and also for letting me know about the cookbook it originated from. I just ordered a copy last night! Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
