Date Night Friday: Strada

So, after watching The Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker I was dying to try the dish she made Strada. This dish was brand new to me. So, I searched and searched to find out how to make it and this is what I gathered. Feel free to add or take away any parts that you like or don't. A lot of recipes called for onions, but you don't have to add them if you don't like them.
