Ok, I know the last comment on this was well over a year ago, but I just found it and tried it this morning. What a fabulous dish! Easy, rustic, and delicious! Thanks for sharing!

So happy you enjoyed it Michael! Thanks for stopping by

Anonymous, we ate this all the time with leftover sauce too; nice to hear from you!

JDoe and Shan, thanks–I hope you’ve tried it by now

Christine, that sounds good, although I’d have to scramble (hah!) to find some of those ingredients here. Worth looking though….

Delina, I’m wondering if you’ve seen it around by now….

Something, oh I definitely believe it. Mangia mangia!!!

Believe it or not, my Calabrese grandmother used to make it for me as I snack when I got home from school (4 in the afternoon). She always saw me as undernourished and lavished me with food to show her love. No, I’m still not overweight!

I’ve never had it here, but it looks like something I’d like.

YUM! This is also how I make my huevos rancheros (should you want to mix it up for the P)…I basically make a fresh salsa (chopped tomato, onion, garlic, green pepper, jalapeno, and a bit of oil and lime juice), bring it to a simmer, add the eggs, serve with refried beans (mashed pinto beans, garlic, onion, chili, cumin) and rice. It’s a popular sunday brunch in my house.

Maybe I’ll mix it up and make the uova in purgatorio this week to mix it up here.

From a fellow PA coal country transplant – my grandmother, from Calabria, always made this when we didn’t have enough meatballs to go around. She would throw some eggs in the sauce and mmmmmm! This brings back great memories. I think I am going to have this for dinner tonight!

Giulia, definitely let me know if you think of it. I don't know any dialect from my great-grandfather's side.

Oops Karen! I meant to say what I've now edited the post to read. Thanks! And sadly perhaps, your recollection doesn't sound all that strange.

Gil, glad to spark the memories. And I loved your comment on the de-lurking post.

Brings back memories of my youth. I think that both of my Grandmother and my Mom made this dish!
