Frank - You bring the classics to life! This is a wonderful dish, comforting and luscious, proving, once again, that simple can be superb and that elegant can be easy. No variations are necessary or warranted here. And I recommend a nice Pino Grigio for the dish. Molto grazie per tutto!Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!
