Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
This tasty sauce was served sometimes as a dip and sometimes as a toast topper at Grandma's house. She would spoon the warm sauce into a bowl, stir in an extra tablespoon of olive oil and let us dip breadsticks into it. Or she would toast slices of Italian bread, then top each piece with a spoonful of the sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and broil until the cheese melted.
