Rigatoni with Traditional Pork Bolognaise


Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 40g (1½ oz) butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stick, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 250g (9 oz) lean minced pork
  • 200ml (7fl oz) full-bodied red wine such as montepulciano d’abruzzo
  • 400g (14 oz) can of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • A little flour, mixed to a paste with water
  • 350g (12 oz) rigatoni
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a deep pan, add the onion, celery and carrot and stir well. Cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes, until just beginning to soften
  2. Increase the heat and add the minced pork. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly for the first 3 minutes to break up the lumps. Add the red wine and simmer for 3 minutes
  3. Stir in the tomatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Partially cover and cook over a low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the meat and vegetables are very tender and the juices have thickened. Stir in the parsley. If the sauce isn’t thick enough, ass a little flour and water paste and cook for a further 5-10 minutes
  4. Bring a large pan of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rigatoni, stir and return to a gentle rolling boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until al dente, then drain. Add the paste to the sauce and mix well. Serve in deep bowls with a sprinkling of Parmesan
