Dinner tonight was Marcella Hazan's Pot Roast of Beef Braised with Red Wine. This is the first recipe I have made from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. It was accompanied by rotini pasta splashed with olive oil and parsley, and Roasted Asparagus seasoned with rosemary.
ETA: I made one minor substitution on the ingredients. In stead of opening a can of tomatoes to use just 1 1/2 tablespoons I squeezed some tomato paste into the wine used to de-glaze the browning skillet.
