I read about this recipe on egullet - someone said it was one of their favorites of 2008. I made it today in my enameled cast iron dutch oven which worked well for simmering. The store didn’t have ground pork, so I used 1/2 lb spicy italian sausage. I also threw in a pinch of red pepper flakes at the end to perk it up a bit. It turned out well. We served it over Trader Joe’s dried pappardelle.
Oh, and I didn’t make my own tomato paste – I used canned.
