Even though it was over a month ago, Easter time is important when you are Cooking With Nonna.
When Nonno and Nonna were living in the village in Italy, Easter was really the biggest holiday of the year on the Italian Catholic calendar.
My family has always come together for a big lunch on Easter Sunday. We have Nonna to thank for this tradition, and although I can't speak for the whole family, I know that Nonna has infused into me a sense of the joy and thanksgiving spirit of Easter. She always provides us with gifts, family time and of course a special meal... this year I was at Nonna's the day before making lasagna and other goodies. But that's another post.
