It's easy, and you don't even need a steamer! Healthful and equally delicious served hot, this dairy-free dish is colourful and fresh-tasting. Vegetable steamers have been used for hundreds of years.

If you are looking for a classic Italian dish then this is the one for you. It is fairly easy for anyone to cook if you just follow the directions. To make it the traditional way you will need to use prosciutto or pancetta which is Italian bacon.
