This is the type of recipe I almost never make because Ron dislikes almost everything in it, but I usually make Italian food for Christmas Eve, and figured that was the perfect chance as I make more dishes than usual at the holidays anyway. Plus, it could be started in the morning and gotten out of the way! I am sooooo glad I made it! It was killer delicious, and just got better over the next couple days.
