“Yes, it would’ve been nice to know to cook the veggies too. I followed the recipe super closely and I even doubled the recipe. Now I have a pot simmering but the veggies weren’t sautéed. Ugh… Also, the tomato paste looks like its 14 oz… or maybe it’s 1 four ou” — a cook
“I have questions about the directions. (#2) Pancetta is added to the veggies in the food processor (#3) Add to the large skillet, cook “the pancetta” until it starts to crisp. Then remove. Are you talking about all of the veggies and pancetta that you pureed –” — a cook
