This is a rich satisfying main course pasta dish showcasing the character of Naples’ culinary tradition. The sauce is a robust ragù, featuring a deep developed flavour. 🤤

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 3 hours 15 min (slow cooker)
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the Ragu
800g -1kg pork spareribs
salt & black pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g Farmland streaky bacon, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
2-3 portobello mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup FreshLife pinenuts
1/4 cup FreshLife sultanas
1 bottle (400-500g) Leggos tomato passata
a handful Italian parsley, chopped

Pasta
400g Armando Pappardelle
a k**b of butter or a dash of extra virgin olive oil

To serve
Mainland Parmesan, grated
Italian Parsley, to garnish

Method:

Liberally season the pork ribs with salt and pepper. Cut the rack into two (or three if it is too big for the slow cooker bowl). Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the ribs all over. Transfer to the slow cooker.

Sauté the bacon in the same frying pan. Add onion and garlic, cook until soft. Add the mushrooms, pine nuts and sultanas. Continue to cook for a minute, then place all the frying pan content to the slow cooker over the ribs.

Add the passata and parsley. Combine everything. Slow cook 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low, until the meat falls off the bone easily.

Cook pappardelle in a large pot of boiling salted water for 7-8 minutes to al dente. Drain. Toss with a k**b of butter or a dash of olive oil.

While pasta is cooking, skim the fat off the top of the sauce then transfer the ribs to a plate. Remove the bones and shred meat roughly and return to the sauce.

Serve pappardelle topped with the ragu, grated parmesan, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tip: You can cook ragu sauce in a pot/casserole. Simmer gently for 2 hours on a stove, or 3 hours in a 160C oven.
