Today's menu is pasta with slow-cooked ragu sauce.
Ragu sauce is multi-functional, so you can make a variety of dishes with one sauce.
The recipe is quite simple but having to cook it for hours can be a challenge.
You can make pasta like I did in the video but also you can top it on gratin or even hot dog.
If any of my Italian viewers have any tips for making better ragu, tell me in the comments!
