"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:
I remember my mom making this, usually for a family dinner or special occasion such as Easter. This is one of my favorites which is why I stole my mom's recipe. Aunt Candy will usually bring it to family dinners.
