This was fantastic. Followed recipe exactly as written. The veal was fall apart tender and very tasty. Put the extra sauce over mashed potatoes. Pasta would also make an excellent side dish. As suggested I also made spinach sauteed with garlic and crushed red peppers with a hint of lemon juice. Excellent meal. Thanks for posting Anna. -
Good but not great in my opinion. Followed the recipe but something seemed to be missing. Finally blended half the sauce in my blender and added a little cream. Turned out just to be a NICE tomato sauce. Still, it was a nice dinner, served it with grilled red potatoes/veggies. Thanks for the recipe.
