Yum, the taste and colors of Italy. We enjoyed this meal on a cold winters night, it really brought the warmth of Italy into the house. We enjoyed this meal with fresh green beans, steamed, and then with just olive oil, garlic and a bit of lemon juice. Freshly made biscuits, a lovely large mixed salad, and a delicious biologically grown wine from the French region “Vallee de Aude”. Altogether it made a warm and special ending to our chilly winter’s weekend.
