So for the second day of our food challenge I chose to make a ragu, it was extremely tasty, probably down to the fact that it was cooking for a decent amount of time. If you want to make this into a vegetarian dish you can replace the chicken & bacon for some meaty wild mushrooms.. I wouldn't go for this though as mushrooms are the only vegetable in the world I really don't like! I hope you enjoy this meal as much as we did! :)
