Anyone else suffering from post-Easter depression today?  Today, I'm missing the college kids that and their friends that were home for the weekend.  I'm missing the friends and family that came together around my kitchen to celebrate the risen King.  I'm missing all the extra hands that I had in the kitchen to prepare the all of the amazing meals that we enjoyed last weekend.

This week I'm back to fixing dinner by myself so fortunately I've got a more manageable number to cook for.  Before I get completely out of the "cooking for a crowd" mode though - I think I'll make a big batch of bolognese sauce this week.  I like to keep extra pasta sauce in my freezer for especially busy days when I just don't have the time to make dinner.

My family really enjoyed this bolognese sauce.  It would be great on any pasta really - not JUST tagliatte.  Choose your family's favorite pasta and give it a try.
