August 14, 2002: There's a lot of talk on the bricks these days about ragu. That's because audiences have fallen under the spell of SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY by Eduardo De Filippo. In the play Linda Alper plays Rosa, the matriarch of the Priore clan and keeper of the family ragu recipe. As the play unfolds, the audience is witness to the preparation of the ragu according to traditional techniques and the aroma wafts through the air. I've had several requests for the recipe so here it is.
