Speaking of ragù, my father

Speaking of ragù, my father is coming to dinner tonight, and I promised him that I would make pasta with that last recipe. Problem is, I remembered this morning that green garlic and cheese soufflé is on the menu, and Melanie is quite keen on that (as am I to tell the truth). The ragù will keep. I am using the Chez Panisse recipe, and will report on it tomorrow (or late tonight).
