Congrats to Lisa Keys (@goodgriefchef) for being selected as winner of our #DishesForDad Father’s Day Recipe Contest! 

We asked Lisa why she dedicated this recipe to her dad. She said, "In practically every loving and lasting memory any Italian holds of home and family, food is there, leaving a powerful and permanent impression. One bite of food or whiff of an aroma from our past is swift transport to the old dinner table where my dad was king. We cannot tell of the food without telling of the people who made it for us." This unique recipe was created by Lisa's dad to use up leftovers in a very tasty way and make sure no food ever goes to waste! Check out the winning recipe below.
