Sunday lunches were always a big part of my Sicilian family's tradition when my nonna was alive.

Buona Pasqua! My adapted version of torta alla ricotta … laced with Amaretto and lemon rind. There is an explosion of springtime in every bite. Easter is one of my preferred holidays (for the food), Sicilian style, of course! https://t.co/xAVmCJZfyr
