This is an outstanding recipe. I made the meatsauce. The combination of Italian sausage and ground beef is wonderful. The only change I made was to use red pepper flakes instead of the black pepper. I served it with a little grated Parmesan cheese. I did shorten the cooking time by using the pressure cooker (30 minutes). DH is still raving about this, and is looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
