This is a recipe I first learned to cook from my beautiful Mother-in-Law, "Rosa" or "Nonna" to my children. She was from a little town in Italy called, Roncade, very close to Venice. She spoke very little english, but I watched her make this heart-warming dish many, many times. We would enjoy this with bread and a bottle of wine when we would go visit her. She would always tell me to add whatever I wanted and it was ok to "burn" things a bit because it made some things taste good? Hahaha! So glad, because I did that alot when I was a young wife :):):)

This is always my go-to meal for celebrating St. Joseph's Day!
