This is our prized family recipe that I am sharing with all of you.
My Great Aunt Agnes was the first member of our family to be born in America after our family immigrated from Italy. Through the years, she perfected her recipe, which came to be thought of as “The Crown Jewel” of her recipes. She later (reluctantly?) shared it with her sister, my Nonna. Eventually, my Nonna deemed me worthy to possess it and, thus, passed it down to me.
I love it, my son loves it and I hope you will too.
Welcome to my family!
