As I am not generally a fan of Mark Bittman's "Minimalist" recipes in the Times, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this very simple and very fast ragu. A lot of flavor with very little effort. Excellent weeknight meal. Worked well with small penne.

I agree with Zosia, this is an easy dish whose flavor is much more than what one might expect for a dish that is prepared so easily!

We will keep this dish in mind. Its much more meat heavy than my usual fare, but paired with a side vegetable and a salad.
