Spaw is Italian???

We're not really experiencing winter here in NorCal (it was 84 last Monday), but I did make a very comforting spaghetti dinner recently.

Now, they say it's Bolognese if you use beef, and Ragu if you use pork. I'm not so sure about that... but I used both.

1/2 lb beef chuck, 1/2" dice
1/2 lb pork shoulder, 1/2" dice
2 large cans of whole tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 anchovy fillets (trust me on this, you won't taste them)
1/3 bottle of red wine
thyme, salt, pepper

Brown the meat well, then add the other ingredients and simmer for three hours. Serve over spaghetti. You will be well comforted.

Cheers,
Michael
