A true italian dish!
jonibaloney@sbcglobal.net - September 25, 2007 07:57:48 AM PSTWe vacationed in Italy this past summer, and since returning, we have longed to taste the authentic Italian cuisine that we experienced there. This recipe had all the authentic taste that we remembered from eating antipasto on our vacation and we thoroughly enjoyed it!! I\'m so glad I tried it!!
