There's also a version of this recipe, called "Garnished Turnips", in
"The Neapolitan Recipe Collection: Cuoco Napoletano",  Terence Scully,
(trans.), University of Michigan Press.  ISBN: 0-472-10972-3

I used provalone when I made it for feast a while back (was it
determined if provalone is perioid or not?).  It worked reasonably
well, but due to unexpected circumstances I lacked oven space and they
had to be served luke-warm instead of piping hot.

In Scully's notes on the recipe he says something to the effect that
this dish should be served at the end of the feast.  Maybe it's so the
cheese can fill in all the empty corners or something.  ;-)
