"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 found this recipe many years ago when I was in college. I adapted it somewhat from the original recipe so I didn't have a little sweetened condensed milk left over. Now I can use the whole can, thus, no waste:)
