"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:
This was a recipe that Mom made quite a lot, as it is cheap, fast and tastes so good. We loved it when she made it. I will tell you NOT to chop your onions in the food processor as you get too much onion juice and it kills the flavor of the other ingredients. I did that one time and I don't think I will EVER live it down!
