    My family loved this! Even my picky eaters devoured it. I will definitely be making this again.

    Easy to follow and packed with flavor. I added a splash of red wine while it was simmering, and it was fantastic!

  • Jayne Hoeger

    I was looking for a lighter alternative to my usual ragu recipe, and this hit the spot! The Fontina cheese adds a lovely creaminess.
