Herby Pork Ragu
with Pappardelle
Sausage meat is a lazy cook's best friend. It's already packed full of flavour so you can have a tasty dinner on the table in no time. Here it's incorporated into a tomatoey ragu that goes fabulously with wide ribbons of parpadelle pasta.
The quantities provided above are averages only.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips
Pop a large saucepan of water on to boil with 1/4 tsp of salt. We will use it later for the pasta. Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the sausage meat to the pan, and cook until browned, 5-6 mins, using a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Add the onion to the sausage meat and cook until softened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, stir and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the tomato puree, stir and cook for a further 2 mins.
Pour the chopped tomatoes into your pan along with the chicken stock paste and a pinch of sugar, stir together and allow the ragu to simmer gently until reduced and thickened, 12-15 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While your ragu is cooking, add the pappardelle (see ingredients for amount you need) to the boiling water and cook until tender, 10 mins. Do any washing up while everything cooks!
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and drizzle over a little olive oil to stop it sticking together. Add the pasta to your ragu along with half of the parsley and half the grated hard Italian style cheese. Toss together. Serve on plates and top with the remaining parsley and grated hard Italian style cheese. Buon appetito!
