So Fond Of The Saffron

...The result was outstanding, with the saffron, usually a nuanced flavor in most other dishes, partnering quite nicely with the tender, juicy, and flavorful meat. The pasta absorbed the residual juices and remained a toothsome base for the flavors to dance on, while the scallion's slightly pungent yet very aromatic herbaceousness kept the luscious beef and sauce for becoming overly rich....
