I consider the posting of this recipe a team effort! Thank you Laurie Roberts for your detective work!! :) This recipe came from a PBS cooking show from years ago. The chef was Italian and his name was Nick Stellino. I've made this recipe several times in the past, but not recently. That will be changing!
