For a good dose of comfort, a bowl of spaghetti is always welcome. To switch up from your usual Bolognese, try this cacciatore sauce with diced chicken thighs, pancetta and mushrooms. The tomato-based sauce, which is reduced along with chicken broth, becomes rich and delicious. Simply boil some pasta and warm the sauce before serving.
