Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, eggs, onions, tomato sauce, and fresh herbs at local grocery stores or supermarkets. For the prato cheese, look in the specialty cheese section of larger supermarkets; as a substitute, use a mild, semi-hard cheese like Edam or a young Gouda.
