This is great. I fry some of it for fried mush. Alittle butter and pancake syrup and it is great. Then I eat some plain with my dinner.

This is the basic recipe I learned from an Italian cook in the 1970's. I was taught to lightly stir in cheese when finished cooking, such as a mixture of Monterey Jack and Parmessan. You then top it with a red sauce. It is a wonderful base recipe and a compliment to chicken and pork.
