Absolutely mouth-watering. Made this a few years ago and I was impressed with the flavor. It is definitely time-consuming, but well worth every minute. I made a double-batch yesterday and still wish I had made more since I shared it with four others. The flavors meld even better over time in the fridge. May even want to triple it! Do not vary the recipe; it's superb as written. The homemade pasta is what impressed my guests the most! Highly suggest pre-making the pasta as another reviewer suggested. I will be making this again and again. (Takes me much longer than 1 hour - even with food processor, but I enjoy being in the kitchen.)
