Sunday Ragu Sauce is a lovely Italian comfort food that is perfect to make on a Sunday afternoon, hence the name. This is not a complicated recipe, but it takes awhile for all of the flavors to meld together. I adapted this from a recipe on Bon Appetit’s website. The Ragu sauce on its own is tasty, but we love to mix it with Capello’s fettuccine noodles. These noodles are gluten free, dairy free and grain free! They taste just like fresh pasta, and we have served this dish to many friends and family to which they “scold” us for not eating a Paleo meal…little did they know it was Paleo!
The sauce can be made 2 days ahead which will also help the flavors meld that much more. Enjoy!
