The month of February brought out your romantic sides. You were feeling the love with comfort food like Curtis Stone's Southern Fried Chicken. You flirted with date-night desserts (oh hey, Sticky Date and Pecan Pudding). You rekindled your relationship with ragu — Rachael's Bacon, Fennel & Chicken Ragu, that is.
And of course, you were nothing if not loyal. February's number one recipe, Rachael's Bucatini with Meatball Dumplings, was a January favorite, too!
Watch Rach make it in the video above.
