“I first made this recipe when out of town family came to visit. They, & my husband, loved it so much it's now in our regular meal rotation for visitors and when I made it for different company I was begged for the recipe. I usually mix it up by using Itali” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this for dinner last night. It was a big hit - and was happy that there were enough leftovers for lunches. I did make one substitution. I don't like chunks of tomato so I used crushed tomatoes - looked very close to the picture and tasted great.” — a cook, 5.0★
