Notes: I learned this recipe in Italy, but something in my original copy of it didn't come out just right. In Italy, a crostini like this is usually served as part of a trio, often accompanied by a bruschetta and an olive paste. This recipe is a little bit edited and I made it for Mother's Day 2010. And if it needed more of a seal of approval, my mother thinks it's fab-u-lous!
