Analyzing cooking steps...
This recipe makes a very large batch, which is ideal for freezing in portions for quick future meals.
The chicken livers are a key ingredient for a deep, savory, meaty flavor. The final sauce will not taste distinctly of liver.
When reheating frozen sauce, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to brighten up the flavor.
A heavy, large pot like a Dutch oven is ideal for this recipe as it distributes heat evenly and prevents scorching during the long simmer.
The sauce should taste slightly too strong on its own, as the flavor will be diluted when served with pasta.
