Cook time: 75 min
Total time: 1 h 40 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed; 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 2 cups); 2 stalks of celery, thinly sliced (about 1½ cups); 2 large or 3 small peeled carrots, finely diced (about ¾ cup); 2 zucchini, cut into half-moons (about 2 ½ cups); 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 fresh ear of white or yellow corn, off the cob, or 1 cup frozen corn; 1 cup fresh or frozen peas; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 pound ground chicken; 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt; Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste; ½ cup white wine (I like Pinot Grigio and don’t forget to pour yourself a glass!); 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce; 1 (15-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes; 2½ teaspoons fennel seed; 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary; 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake (optional); 1 Parmesan rind (optional); 5 large basil leaves, sliced chiffonade-style or torn; 4 sprigs of fresh oregano leaves; Freshly grated Parmesan, to finish; Fresh pea flowers and tendrils, to finish (optional); 1 pound rigatoni pasta, fresh or dried (see our homemade rigatoni recipe)

There is a bowl of rigatoni pasta with a tomato vegetable sauce, topped with parmesan shavings and pea tendrils. The bowl is white with a blue handpainted phrase that reads, "la bellezza passa, la fame no," which is Italian for, "beauty fade, hunger doesn't." In the top right corner we see a glass of golden white wine.
