Description

This hearty lamb ragù braises lamb shoulder for hours in a rich and flavorful tomato sauce flavored with red wine, garlic, fennel, and herbs until fall-apart tender and oh-so-good! The fresh herbs give it a delicious aroma, and a touch of orange zest brings it to life. Serve over pappardelle or your favorite pasta.
