For white ragu
- 7 oz ground pork
- 7 oz ground veal
- 3.5 oz pancetta cut into small cubes
- ½ glass white wine
- 3 sage leaves chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 prig rosemary chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 2 talks celery finely chopped
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth I used homemade but you can also use a stock cube
- 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt for pasta and to taste
- black pepper to taste
For mushrooms
- 1.1 lbs mushrooms wild or cultivated
- 1 handful parsley chopped
- ½ glass white wine
- 2-3 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
- 2-3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil. Cook carrots, onion, celery, sage, and rosemary until softened.
- Add the ground pork, ground veal, and chopped pancetta. Let the meat brown well over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Season with salt and pepper, add bay leaves and 2 ladles of hot stock. Simmer for about 1 hour, adding more stock as necessary.
- In a frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil and cook garlic until slightly softened. Add mushrooms, cook for 5-10 minutes. Add the white wine and turn up the heat until the alcohol evaporates. Reduce the heat, stir in parsley, and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
- Note: If the mushrooms seem dry, you can add some broth or pasta cooking water to them.
- Ten minutes before the meat ragu is finished, remove bay leaves and add milk then simmer over low heat. While the white ragu simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add salt and bring to the boil again.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and mix with the white ragu sauce.
- Serve topped with mushrooms, garnished with parsley, and optionally grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano.
Notes
- This recipe can use wild mushrooms such as porcini, chiodini or chanterelles or cultivated mushrooms like cremini or shiitake.
- Instead of rigatoni you can use other types of short pasta such as penne, or garganelli or pasta ribbons like tagliatelle
