Great recipe providing you have access to the right ingredients. Up here in ME you can't get decent sausage. Fortunately that doesn't stop me since I have been making my own Salsiccia Tuscana for ages! With my sausage and Mario's recipe the dish becomes a hedonistic experience! Anyway, I noticed that Mario used his mixer to make the noodle sheets. Why did he not use the dough hook to form the dough ball I ask? That's how I do it and it cuts the time down quite a bit. Unless you really enjoy getting your hands into the dough I recommend the dough hook for kneading and forming the ball.




Molto bene

This was super easy to make and so good (I did not make my own noodles, however)! My husband and I, who were both not very hungry, could not stop eating it. I am definitely going to make this again.

Easy, quick, a treat, big difference from regular everyday dinner, but easy and familiar.

We made only the ragu from this recipe as we were on a low carb kick the week we made it. Regardless, we probably would not have gone to the effort to make pasta ourselves and would have used a good dried pasta instead. But, the ragu was wonderful! I caught just a bit of the program in which Mario demonstrated this recipe, and I was relatively certain that he had the sausage out of casings and shaped into little balls, so that's what I did. But, I could be wrong...now that the network has moved his show to 3:30 (grrrr), I don't always get to see it all. But, try this...you'll like it.




Loved it

Even though it is time consuming to make pasta, it is worth it! My sun (16 y.o.) made this recipe and we loved it; he made it next day again using farfalle frozen from the first day.
