7/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - “Following the cooking instructions results in a well-hydrated, rich bolognese you would knock up at home. The Orzo pasta works well in place of the traditional spaghetti and rehydration, and it's a good vehicle for the sauce. We found it a little seasoned, so bring some additional salt andhis is a fantastic, comforting dish.”
