for family meals :

This
recipe comes from the web site of Deborah Mele,
Italian Food Forever.
"My
love affair with Italian cooking began almost
30 years ago when I married into a large Italian
family, overflowing with talented cooks. Throughout
the early years of my marriage, I had the opportunity
to learn the basics of Italian cuisine, and to
perfect traditional family recipes."

"Cenci
mean tatters, which is what these pastries look
like before you fry them. Fried pastries of this
type can be found across Italy, particularly during
the carnival season. They are great warm or at
room temperature, but must be eaten the same day".
