My 11 year old loves this dish so much, that she insisted on learning how to make it. An absolutely delicious dish which is great with buttered pasta (that's the way she likes it) or with a green salad and lots of warm crusty rolls to mop up the juices (the way WE like it) all washed down with glasses of chilled wine! Salut!
