This is one of my favorite all-time tried-and-true recipes. Omit the cheese for a more lowfat version. Your home will smell wonderful while it is cooking! It has brought my neighbors knocking. It receives rave reviews always and it tastes complex and so satisfying. Read more Do not omit the wine. Adapted from a Moosewood cookbook recipe.
