Pappardelle Bolognese
Pappardelle Bolognese. The ultimate sunday pasta for a cozy cold night. And bonus?! Homemade pappardelle. There is nothing better than homemade pasta on a Sunday with a super saucy bolognese. Served over ricotta and sprinkled with red pepper flakes. Happy Sunday guys…hope you’re all having a good dinner and wine to cure the scaries !!
I don’t know about you guys, but I am having major Sunday scaries today. And there is nothing worse than having Sunday scaries in January. The coldest, dreariest month of the year. Good news? January is almost over. AND we have this cozy pasta to help us get through the scaries.
There’s nothing quite like a classic bolognese sauce on a Sunday. With a little homemade pappardelle? You can totally count us in. And served with some creamy fresh ricotta. Sprinkled with a little bit of red pepper flakes. It’s the perfect warm your bones, hearty dish for Sunday night.
Anyway, I hope you guys all had a great weekend. And I hope you’re finishing it out with a good dinner and a hefty glass of wine. Because in our house there is only one way to cure the Sunday scaries….and that is with wine and pasta !! Cheers !!
