RACHAEL RAY'S CHRISTMAS PASTA

From Rachael: "We eat fish on Christmas Eve, no meat allowed. After Midnight Mass, all bets are off! We make this sauce for Christmas Day: you can't fit another meat in the pot! As many times as you reheat it, it just gets that much better, so if people are coming and going throughout the day, cook off only as much pasta as you need at the time – half a pound for every 3 people. I suggest pairing this with Caprese Salad." Click HERE for the recipe!
