Our Nonna's recipe is said to bring good luck with the New Year. According to the tale, it also helps if you wear red underwear while you eat the lentils. Some sources say that the underwear has to be new and given to the wearer as a gift. The shape of lentils looks like a coin, so eating them should bring you wealth in the New Year. This dish is common in Italian restaurants, but everything tastes better if you make it yourself right?! So tie on your apron and give our recipes a try!!!!
