Sugo

I wanted to include both the familiar cream-enriched ragù and this more unusual meat sauce for pasta, because I think there’s a place for each of them in the home cook’s repertoire. The contrasting additions of bright lemon zest and funky quick-sautéed chicken livers just before serving make this sauce company-worthy. Both this sugo and the ragù make excellent weekend slow cooking projects—make a bunch and freeze it for even easier meals later.
