Made for Spring PAC 2008. This got mixed reviews at my house. My youngest liked it but my oldest didn't. This was very easy to make during the week. I followed the recipe as written other then I doubled it and didn't use the olive oil to cook the peppers. I just sprayed the pan with some PAM. My oldest said he thought the ragu was sweet and the chili pepper didn't seem to go with the spaghetti sauce. I'm sure there are others that would love this, just wasn't to my families tastes.
