Reviews
This is really a very good recipe. I will definitely make it again.
This is such a wonderful dish. It looks like you worked really hard and it tastes even better. However, it does make a mountain of food. Don't be afraid to cut the recipe into halves or thirds but make all the sauce, it is what makes this dish so great.
