Cooler nights call for comfort food — preferably with heavy cream and bacon, right? — and this meat-based signature sauce from Chef Joshua Smith of Moody’s Delicatessen & Provisions features both. Serve over a pasta type of your choice (a long, thick-cut noodle would be great like tagliatelle, fettuccine or pappardelle), and pair with a glass of red wine for a cozy meal.
