Looking for an innovative New Year's Eve recipe, I browsed the internet for inspiration and decided to try making this ragù! I added tomato sauce to suit my taste. You can use it as a pasta sauce or serve it with polenta as a main dish. It's a new and different flavor—approved! This is also my last recipe of the year and is part of #onerecipenoetree.
