I needed Five Spice Powder to make a recipe for bolognese. I used ground lamb instead of pork and five spice powder was a marriage made in heaven. I used cinnamon sticks since I had them but I didn't take the time to roast the spices beforehand. Still was a wonderful dish and will try making the pork variation to see how it goes. Only if I opened a wine with this pasta dish! Bet a dry Brachetto would be the perfect match on a warm May evening.
