Top with black pepper and serve with a nice Chianti.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I remember bringing Chris to my grandparents house for the first time and my grandparents made this dish. I wasn't sure if they were testing my Anglo boyfriend to see if he would eat this. But boy did he love it and he went for seconds and thirds. I knew then that he was accepted. We really plumped that skinny boy up that year. I can still hear my Nonna saying, "Christofa, you look good in the face!"
