Taste translation
If you like slow-cooked meat sauce — imagine it cooked all Sunday morning, rich and deep. The pasta gets the sauce, the meat comes after.
Zen's note
This is Naples’ Sunday ritual. The ragù starts at dawn and cooks until lunch. The sauce goes on pasta (primo), then the meat is served separately (secondo). It’s a two-course experience.
