You might have noticed, I am a big fan of Italian cuisine... I had a Tuscan cookbook at my parents' house when I was studying cooking, and there was a recipe for pappardelle al ragù. Basically, it's pappardelle (the pasta) in a meat stew sauce. I've modified this recipe by replacing the meat with soy protein and mushrooms, eliminated the celery, and switched out the onions for shallots. I absolutely loved this dish! So here's my revised and improved version ;)
