Y’all, look here…I am not only a baker! I’m actually a pretty good cook! Of course, my standards were raised pretty high after living in Italy. I mean, their food is incredible! It’s so fresh and they make a point to use what is in season.
Yesterday, on our FB page, I posted a picture of a giant pot of homemade Italian ragu! Here in America, ragu is something you’d see on a jar label, but in Italy it’s a homemade meaty pasta sauce! I have not purchased a jar or can of pasta sauce in FOUR years! There have been a BUNCH of requests for the recipe so here you go! You’ll love this super simple recipe!
In my photos, you’ll see my recipe has been sextupled so keep that in mind if you only make one batch. You're not gonna have the giant pot I do! Ha! Here’s the thing though…you should at least double it. Then you can put some in a Ziploc bag, stick it in the freezer, and be 10 minutes from supper one night! Or you could do what I do and gift a bag to a friend that may be sick, recently had a baby, or just needs some lovin’. Bonus, there’s no dish for them to worry about returning. I personally make six batches at one time so I can have a ton in reserve!
So, here goes!
In a deep skillet, do a good swirl of olive oil and turn it on low.
