    Made this on a whim with ground chicken since it’s what I had on hand, and it was good! (It’s better with pork though)

    This is absolutely delicious! Takes time but not compared to a traditional ragu, great family dinner recipe

    This was a great weeknight dinner if you start early and have some flexibility. Easy to pull together, but needs cooking time. We enjoyed it a lot, but if you have the cookbook called Shaya, his is better. BUT, it takes more time...

    I appreciated the flavor to effort ratio, but overall this was just fine for us.

    Very delicious. My jet- lagged brain bought breakfast sausage accidentally, but that worked too! Easy to put together and then just hang out while it simmers.

    Another upvote here….a nice change from a tomato based pasta sauce that has a lovely texture and lots of flavour. I used ground Calabrian chiles for heat (in place of red chile flakes) and lots of parsley & basil with the parm at the end. I served this over penne and I would absolutely make this again.

    Fantastic, buttery flavor and super creamy texture, despite just a small amount of cream (I'm guessing it's the pork fat). There was a good ratio of sauce to pasta using 12 oz dried fettuccine.

    Incredibly delicious! It took a fair bit of time to make, most of it hands-off braising time, but it was worth it. It was quite rich and I was tempted to omit the cream but it did enhance the flavour and silky texture of the sauce.

    This was extraordinarily delicious. One of our favorite meals in recent memory. We used fresh pasta and enjoyed it with a sharp green salad and some white wine. I can't wait to eat this again!
