was invited to a dinner party last week, and it was an Italian theme. not being a very good cook etc., I hunted the internet looking for something simple --and of course -- Italian.

Found this one, and it was a huge hit with the guests...Everyone wanted the recipe!

This one's definitely a keeper and really easy to prepare!
