So what is Ragu?
Some call it ragu, bolognese, meat sauce, or even Sunday gravy, but when it comes to pasta, nothing pairs better with it then Italian “Ragu” which is a home made, hearty meat sauce.
My mother would start very early in morning every Sunday in preparation for this all day affair, involving several different types of meats, lots of tomatoes, and of course a little wine. She would say “some wine for the pot, and some for me!” Like mother like daughter-when it comes to the wine only, I have come with a way that still honors my family’s tradition of a flavorful “Ragu”, that makes the process less time consuming.
Here is a twist on the meat sauce without the “red” tomatoes.
