Notes
The recipe in this entry was adapted from one published in, "Better Homes and Gardens, Italian Cook Book (Des Moines, Iowa: Mereditch Corporation, 1983). The cookbook can be borrowed for free from the on-line public library, www.openlibrary.org.... P.S. I tried this recipe and found it very good. I used Marsala wine though the original recipe simply asked for dry white wine. Comments and photo: Mary Melfi.
