Recipe
Tagliatelle al Ragù di Cinghiale (Wild Boar Ragù with Tagliatelle)
Ingredients:
- 500g wild boar (or pork) shoulder, cut into small chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 250ml Cesari "Jèma" Corvina Veronese IGT 2016 (or similar red wine)
- 400g canned tomatoes, crushed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 500g tagliatelle pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the boar chunks and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the red wine, stirring to deglaze the pot and release any caramelised bits from the bottom. Let the wine cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the wild boar to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 2-2.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thickened. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- While the ragù is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the tagliatelle pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving a little cooking water.
- Serve the wild boar ragù over the cooked tagliatelle, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Pair with a glass of Cesari "Jèma" Corvina Veronese IGT 2016 for a perfect match.
