Name: Rustic Pork Ragu
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 (2 1/2 lb) boneless pork loin; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked and chopped; 4 garlic cloves, chopped; 1 (35 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juice; 1 lb pappardelle pasta, cooked; grated romano cheese, to taste

Servings: persons

1
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with the salt and pepper and sear on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork; set aside.
2
Add the onion, rosemary, and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3
Add the tomatoes and their juices and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any bits of pork stuck to the bottom of the pot.
4
Return pork to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover the pot tightly and simmer on the stovetop until the pork is tender enough to fall apart, 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
5
Remove the pork and, when it is cool enough to handles, shred it into bite-size pieces. Add the shredded pork back to the stockpot. Simmer until hot.
6
Serve over the pasta with the Romano sprinkled on top.
