I've been kicking this recipe around in my head for some time now, now that the weather is cooler, I Decided I needed to put my pen to pot so to speak and finally make some. I researched by first buying the canned varieties at the grocery (burned my tummy) then I went to a few Italian restaurants that I knew. and they were much better finally I came up with a recipe of my own and made it. It is so YUMMY! My boyfriend and his son both went back for seconds. I served it with a salad and garlic cheese toast. I also like to make my own Veggie broth that I used in this as well.
