This dish is one of my specialties, and is my family’s favorite. It’s simple yet time consuming. Life gets busy, and I don’t make this as often, but now that I’m
home it was my husband and my sister’s request. Now let’s get to work!
The secret of this dish is in the white sauce, I always make it from scratch, it will take a little more time, but it will make a huge difference in its taste.
