"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This dish tends to like to "bubble" up in the oven. To prevent spatters (and possibly prevent your kitchen from burning down) place a large sheet of aluminum foil under the baking dish to catch overflows. Orange juice can be used in lieu of the orange liqueur.
