  • This is a good recipe

    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.

  • Veal is NOT lamb

    Dale D - October 22, 2007 04:20:02 PM PST
    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.

  • Veal RULEZ!

    listen, quit whining and asking why veal and all that, it's simple...it's more tender and tastes even better! Wow, what a revelation. I use VEal and burger mix for a very interesting taste. ...and YES, you CAN get it at supermarkets by me!

  • Looks Delicious!

    This recipe looked so good that I've decided to try it today. I'll be substituting lean ground turkey for the veal and using a few shortcuts but all in all I think it'll turn out wonderful! Buon appetito!

  • Take this as recipe as a Starting Point....

    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.

  • Quick?...

    Renji - October 1, 2007 06:40:14 PM PST
    ...I don't think so, it has a lot of ingredients and judging from the lack of any time estimates I would say it could take a LONG time to create. It looks delicious though, I wish someone would make it for me! :P

    Sounds delicious. BUT, by the time I shopped for all these ingredients, chopped and prepared them, mixed them all together, and cooked them, I'd be too tired to eat it.

  • Veal is not too humane....

    Diane - November 4, 2007 07:25:17 AM PST
    Thank heavens you can't even buy veal in my supermarkets. It is produced in an inhumane manner. If you want details of what the male daily caves experience, check some websites.

  • Too Much Work

    charliesdd - October 1, 2007 04:36:33 PM PST
    Why is a recipe this complicated under the heading of "Simple Recipes"?? Too much chopping and involved cooking.

  • VEAL !!!?

    artdawns2 - October 22, 2007 02:30:24 PM PST
    Veal is baby cow. Kept in little sheds, unable to move around much so as not to develop tough muscles. Very inhumane. No need to eat this.

  • Why Veal?

    Jen B - October 22, 2007 07:47:11 AM PST
    I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions of another meat that would be just as flavorful without killing baby cows, the big ones I don't much care, but I can't eat the babies. Any suggestions? Thanks!
