Pork Rib Ragù Pasta – MyPinchofItaly.co.uk

Pork Rib Ragù Impasto is a classic Southern Italian dish. It starts with pork ribs browned durante extra virgin olive oil, then slowly simmered durante tomato sauce for several hours. As the sauce cooks, it becomes rich, thick, and deeply flavorful.

Unlike ragù made with minced meat, this version uses whole pork ribs. The meat releases its flavour gradually into the tomato sauce. The result is rustic, simple, and perfect for a relaxed Sunday lunch.
