Story

This recipe looks more complicated than it really is. There are a lot of ingredients, yes, but it goes together easily and quite fast. There's a lot of flavor due in large part to the garlic, fennel, red wine vinegar, and tomato paste. Very savory and delicious. Be sure to use penne pasta as it holds up together very well under such a meaty sauce.
