"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I've never topped this casserole with tomato, avocado, or green onions - not sure why - just haven't. The first time I made this casserole, David (who is the most disciplined eater I know and never gets that excited about food) said, "Oooo, I love this"! Funny how that has stuck with me every time I make or think about this dish. I think I got this recipe from the food section of the Houston Chronicle 20+ years ago.
