"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:
First time I had this, Don's mom made it for a dinner we had. This is great for summer potlucks with fruit and whipped topping, or a replacement crust for your favorite pies. I like to top with cherry pie filling.
