Pappardelle with Oxtail in Light Stewed Tomato Sauce – What Did Kimberly Eat?
Last night, I had one of the most delicious pasta dishes I’ve had in a while, aside from the Gnocchi with Porcini Mushrooms in Cream Sauce I had the night before. I had Pappardelle pasta in a stewed tomato sauce with Oxtail & fresh peas. It was perfectly done, right from the al-dente pappardelle pasta, which is one of my very favorite long shaped pastas (it’s like big, long ribbons of pasta), but the oxtail was tender...
