Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

One 3-pound pork shoulder roast, cut into 3-inch chunks
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary (about 6 inches each)
1 bay leaf (fresh or dried)
2 medium Spanish onions, sliced thin (about 4 cups)
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
3-inch piece Parmesan rind
Pinch red chile flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus for drizzling
1 pound penne pasta
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus more as desired
Arugula, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Dry the pork well and sprinkle it on all sides with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt and the pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, brown the pork on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside. While the pork is browning, tie the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf into a bundle using butcher's twine.
  • Once all of the pork has been browned, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil no oil remains in the pot. Add the onions and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and cook until reduced to nearly dry, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Parmesan rind, chile flakes and the herb bundle and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pot, tucking it in under the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the pork is fork tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
  • Remove the pork and shred into bite-size pieces using two forks. Remove the herb bundle from the sauce and add the pork back to the pot. Stir in the olive oil and half of the grated Parmesan. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne for about 1 or 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and add the pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce, about 2 minutes, adding a ladle of pasta water as needed. Serve topped with the remaining grated Parmesan, or more as desired, and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with a few leaves of baby arugula, if using.

Use the leftovers from our Pork Chops with Fennel and Carrots for this recipe -- they give a meaty heft to vegetable tomato sauce over pasta.

PORK RAGOUT WITH PAPPARDELLE PASTA



Pork Ragout with Pappardelle Pasta image

The secret ingredient in this recipe is time (although there's thyme too). Letting the pork slowly braise in the tomato sauce builds a deep and rich flavor. We loved this served over pappardelle but it's great with cavatelli too. Make it for four or serve just two for a special dinner and you'll have some much appreciated leftovers.

Time 3h15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1 pound boneless country pork ribs (about 2)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup red wine
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Pinch crushed red pepper
One 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
8 ounces pappardelle pasta
1/2 cup packed parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Handful basil leaves, torn, plus more for garnish
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, salt both sides of each rib, then add to the pot and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and then partially cover with a lid. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes. Add the wine, bay leaves, thyme, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until most of the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Nestle in the browned ribs (and any accumulated juices), then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of water (it's nice to rinse the tomato can out with water and then use 1 1/2 cups of that "tomato water"). Bring to a high simmer, then adjust to a low simmer and cover the pot partially with the lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and falling apart and the sauce has reduced, about 2 hours. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pot and add back into the sauce. Remove the pieces of pork and let them cool slightly; finely shred the meat, then stir back into the sauce. The sauce can now be finished and served or it can be cooled down, refrigerated and reheated the next day.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Stir the parsley into the sauce and adjust the seasoning to taste with salt. Thin out with a little of the reserved pasta water and stir in the torn basil. Divide the cooked pasta among bowls and top each with some ragout. Drizzle each bowl with a little olive oil, top with a generous amount of Parmesan and garnish with a few basil leaves.
