We affectionately call Ragu’ con Sugo di Maiale “pork pasta” not because we feel like little piggies when we eat it but because it’s made with ground pork. This particular sauce is not as red a sauce as yesterday’s ragu’ because rather than tomato puree, it uses chopped tomatoes. This sauce is not cooked very long so it comes together rather quickly – for a meat sauce.
Ragu’ con Sugo di Maiale
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 large diced tomato
- handful of fresh sage
Procedure
Coat the bottom of your sturdy pan with olive oil and heat it on medium heat. Add chopped onion and sautee for a few minutes. Add ground pork and cook. When the meat is browned, add the white wine and cook off the alcohol for a few minutes. Add the diced tomato, and cook for about 20 mins. Add fresh sage and cook another 5 mins. Serve over pasta cooked al dente.
This is a not-very-tomatoey sauce so if you are allergic to tomatoes or don’t really like tomatoes this might be good one for you. Here’s another quick video!
Sheila, I really do enjoy your explanations from an Italian perspective. It’s so fun to see the differences between “American Italian” (what we think is Italian food) and the real thing!
Yes, that’s why I thought of this series. People often ask me questions. Glad you are enjoying it!
This sounds so tasty! I’m so hungry right now! Haha.
Too bad you can’t swing by! I have SO MUCH FOOD!
This looks good. I actually like pork better than beef for most dishes.
I do like pork! Bacon, BBQ, ribs…
