Recipe by the Book: A Housewarming Casserole

Meghan Daum’s Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House is a warm and funny exploration of real estate, home ownership, and the true meaning of “home.” One great way to make a house a home? Food! Maybe you’ve just moved someplace new, or maybe you have new neighbors who could use a break from the take-out grind. In either case, a hot, single-dish meal will hit the spot. With that in mind, we present this casserole recipe from Lidia Cooks From the Heart of Italy, by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and Tanya Bastianich Manuali. Make it for yourself, make it for your book club, or make it for your new friends down the street!
