  1. The tagliatelle recipe was awesome, but misrepresented as a "30 minute" recipe. Adding all the times stated in the video, the time comes to over 60 minutes, not counting the prep of vegetables and pancetta and opening tomato paste, and grating cheese. Still, an hour + is better than spending all day the traditional way.

  2. This has become our go to for spaghetti. I never leave well enough alone and I add a splash of red wine to deglaze and some balsamic vinegar just prior to adding crushed tomatoes. Certainly fine without it. Good with it.
