Eggs cooked in tomato sauce.

As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Hi! My Nonna Helen made meatballs with raisins too. Hate to say it but we didn't like them with raisins. LOL My maternal grandparents were from Jelsi, Campobasso.
