Sunday, December 19th
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Pacific Time

Join Domenico and Maria for a portion of easy Italian comfort food - Monacone Pie, or stuffed pizza! Like many of the recipes from Capri, the ingredients are modest, but the flavor is grand. This “stuffed pizza” is made of a pastry pie crust filled with hearty ingredients like meatballs, cheese, eggplants, and tomato sauce.
