We cook this in the middle of the week when energy is low and we don’t have time to shop. Never disappoints.
Wine Suggestion: a medium bodied Italian red, like the San Lorenzo Rosso Conero which is made from Montepulciano in the Marche (as opposed to Abruzzo). Structured and earthy but with a joyous pure fruit; it gives us energy like this dish.
