The Top 10 Recipes of February 2019

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.
