STEWS - Fall 2025 (Oct-Dec) Dish of the Quarter

Looks great … why was it meh?

Terribly bland, and I don’t think it needed salt or pepper. The bottle of Cab also disappeared.

Just reeeeaaaallllly uninteresting, considering the time and moderate effort.

But I rarely follow recipes for any of my pasta dishes, and I should probably continue to do so.

So the recipe was off? I’ve read and heard criticism of Jamie Oliver’s recipes, particularly odd substitutions and changes to tradition that seem weird.
