Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans in cool days or with salad and steamed new potatoes in the warm weather.

Prosecco, the favorite of Venetians, is a good choice of wine. This is one of those wines you can drink the whole day.

Squeeze lightly the tomatoes as you put them in the pan to bring out their juice.
