This recipe is slightly modified from The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper.   It made a splendid main dish for Christmas dinner and a family reunion a few years ago.  The best part is that, whiile it looks impressive, it is actually quite simple to make, and the long baking time means that you can [...]
