Cream of Artichoke SauceBy Michael"When I was growing up in a small town in Italy in the 70s you could not find frozen artichokes. I can't begin to tell you how much I hated to clean the fresh artichokes. But that was my job and I sure enjoyed eating the pasta!" - Paola

Chicken Breasts with Cream SauceBy MichaelWhen my mother was about 10 years old, Kraft introduced a new cheese to Italy called Filadelfia, Yes, spelled like that.

Kraft has since decided that Italians can handle the correct spelling of Philadelphia.
