I made this a couple weeks ago and it was very good! If you don\'t want to eat veal, make it with ground beef. That is what I did (not cuz I\'m against eating veal, but cuz the store was out of ground veal) and it was still very good.
It does take a little while if you chop the veggies yourself.

Exchange veal for another ground meat. I\'d never eat veal either.
Most of the chopped stuff (especially the garlic) can be bought that way. Think of it as like having a Sous Chef - god knows Wolfgang Puck has one doing all this chopping for him.
It\'s some work but then so is any spaghetti dish from scratch, I\'d say.

I don\\\'t understand why they would feature a recipe that tells you to cook a baby cow who was kept in a small cage and didn\\\'t even get to walk around? With the economy like it is, who would even want to pay for veal anyway, when there are other good choices. There are many more (and much better!) recipes for spaghetti.

Veal is indeed a form of beef, in that it normally comes from milk fed calves (male dairy calves), and has been a significant part of Italian food for centuries. Veal is appreciated for it\'s tender texture and delicate taste, but since it has a very low fat content, you have to take care in it\'s preparation.
I\'ve tried the recipe, and although not my favorite, it is quite good.

All that has been written about the inhumane treatment of veal calves in the US are correct.
The sad fact is that most of our food animals are treated the same way, beef, chicken, lamb, dairy cows...if they are raised in a factory farm environment, they have had a miserable life and are not healthy, and not good for us.
There are alternatives. Chose the humane way for all of your meat products. I used to cringe at those commercials about "happy cows in California", but now I live in central California, and it is true! I see them everywhere grazing in beautiful green fields.
In England you can buy humanely raised veal, it\\\'s called "rose" because the meat is pinker due to the sunshine and exercise, but it is just as good.
Also, if you have a thing about eating "baby" calves, and you eat lamb, well, veal calves are harvested much later than are lambs.
The moral is, always check your food sources if you care, and don\\\'t forget to tell our legislators that we don\\\'t want to eat tortured animals, and we are really upset at their inability to protect us from foodborne illnesses.
We need to support our local farmers, if we don\\\'t all our food supply will come from foreign countries, half already does. WHY!!!!
We need to care for what we put into our mouth. Humane, sustainable farming, less processed foods is the way to health, and really good food.
