Tom Kenning of Valrico, Fla., writes: "This quick and very tasty recipe comes from the Italian-American wife of a friend and has been a hit with everyone to whom I have ever served it."
Kenning's was followed by a similar recipe from Elly Wencka of Tampa. Both used many of the same ingredients, and both exceeded our five-ingredient limit. We settled on the key ingredients, but I'll list the omitted items in case you want to try them as variations. Kenning also included a teaspoon of Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese, and Wencka included canned mushrooms, chopped fresh tomatoes and celery salt.
