On the last day of our family vacation, we dined at Last Chair Kitchen & Bar, a charming, rustic restaurant at the edge of Whitefish, Montana. We love their rendition of oysters Rockefeller made with oyster mushrooms rather than the slippery bivalve. Their local bison ragu over roasted spaghetti squash made it to our wish list of recipes to recreate at home.
New Year’s Eve proves the perfect holiday to serve a heartwarming bowl of ragu to wrap up a boisterous season. Ragu, the ubiquitous meat sauce of Bologna, Italy, is traditionally served over the long, narrow noodles known as tagliatelle. The hearty sauce also makes a fantastic base for lasagna or tossed with rigatoni or small pasta shells.
