Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 ribs celery from the heart with leafy tops, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine, or medium bodied red
2 cups chicken stock
3/4 pound to 1 pound cooked shredded pork shoulder
Pinch ground cloves
2/3 cup milk
1 pound pappardelle pasta, cooked to al dente or 1 cup quick cooking polenta, cooked to package directions
A handful finely chopped parsley leaves
Shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano, for topping or for more tang use grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, then add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Stir in the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the vegetables until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute, then add the wine and cook for another minute. Stir in the stock and bring sauce to a simmer. Add the pork and season with a pinch of ground cloves. When the sauce returns to a simmer add the milk and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce mellow while you bring the water to boil for the pasta or polenta. Sauce may be made ahead and reheated over medium-low heat. Add a splash of stock or water to thin the sauce, if necessary. Serve the sauce tossed with pasta ribbons or atop creamy bowls of polenta and garnish with lots of cheese and parsley.

This ragu is very versatile. You can serve it over pasta, rice, or polenta. You can also use it as a filling for tacos or burritos.

This ragu freezes well, so it's a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze it in individual portions.

I made this recipe using whole wheat pasta and lean ground pork. It was a delicious and healthy meal that my whole family enjoyed.

I love spicy food, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. It gave it a nice kick without being too overpowering.

I was short on time, so I used ground pork instead of pork shoulder. It still turned out great! I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the sauce.

This pork ragu is a winner! The flavors are rich and complex, and the meat is fall-apart tender. I served it over pappardelle, and it was a hit with my family.
