Lord D introduced me to this dish from Michael’s Back Door, one of his favorite Italian restaurants, and now mine. The dish originally calls for cream, but you can substitute nonfat plain yoghurt.

I was inspired by a trip to our favorite Italian restaurant to serve this dish for special occasions.
