I got this recipe in The Oregonian FOODday section back in the '80's. This recipe was requested by a customer and the owner, Moe Akhbari Of Alessandro's Restaurant, Portland, Oregon, gave the recipe to FOODday. This was their most requested recipe. This is a great side dish. Also good base for your favorite spinach lasagna or other Italian dishes.
