Easy Roast Beef

Posted by ItalianMomof2

This is another Italian Easter favorite. Nice, but not too sweet. I buy two frozen Pie crusts and use one for the pie and the other I remove and flatten out, to cut into strips and make lattice pattern on top. Delicious! Enjoy! MORE»

Pasta Fagioli

Posted by ItalianMomof2
