Description

My nonna cooked pasta for every dinner she ever made. It might have been for the main course, a salad, soup, or perhaps dressed in Marinara for a side dish. On Sundays when her grown children brought their families for dinner, invariably her gi-normous pot of red sauce was built around something Grandpa Gus grew on his farm and caught in a trap. Our parents said the meat was chicken, but he wasn\'t a chicken farmer and they didn\'t run wild. As adults we figured out it was rabbit or game bird. This is my adaptation of one of her many recipes.

Additional Tips

If you don't have a 12" skillet, you can use a smaller diameter skillet or pot by removing the vegetables to a bowl while you brown the chicken.
