Honestly, if I didn't stop myself at one bowl, I would have gone back for 2nd's and 3rd's of it! The sauce has an amazing depth of flavor that just makes you want to sop it up with some nice crusty bread. Note to self: get a loaf of crusty bread for next time! Overall, this one got a thumb's up all around our dinner table.

Think the addition of red wine makes a huge difference in the recipe - love this one.
