The folksat SomethingItalian throws down an awesome Italian GrilledCheese as a once-a-week daily special, pairingcountry Italian bread with fresh mozzarella, smoked gouda,havarti and asiago cheeses along with tomato and spinachleaves, and finished off with a pesto spread. It's a quattroformaggi overload! So sumptuously cheesy! The smoked goudaadds a dimension I'd normally associate with meat off thegrill. Tomato, pesto, and spinach temper all that richness.
