PENNE WITH PORK RAGOUT

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

One 3-pound pork shoulder roast, cut into 3-inch chunks
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary (about 6 inches each)
1 bay leaf (fresh or dried)
2 medium Spanish onions, sliced thin (about 4 cups)
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
3-inch piece Parmesan rind
Pinch red chile flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus for drizzling
1 pound penne pasta
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus more as desired
Arugula, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Dry the pork well and sprinkle it on all sides with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt and the pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, brown the pork on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside. While the pork is browning, tie the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf into a bundle using butcher's twine.
  • Once all of the pork has been browned, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil no oil remains in the pot. Add the onions and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and cook until reduced to nearly dry, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Parmesan rind, chile flakes and the herb bundle and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pot, tucking it in under the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the pork is fork tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
  • Remove the pork and shred into bite-size pieces using two forks. Remove the herb bundle from the sauce and add the pork back to the pot. Stir in the olive oil and half of the grated Parmesan. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne for about 1 or 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and add the pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce, about 2 minutes, adding a ladle of pasta water as needed. Serve topped with the remaining grated Parmesan, or more as desired, and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with a few leaves of baby arugula, if using.

20-GARLIC PORK AND POTATOES SKILLET



20-Garlic Pork and Potatoes Skillet image

We've rarely had a five-ingredient meal that tastes as good as this one and cooks in a single dish. This simplicity is actual the secret to this recipe's success. A clever stovetop-to-oven technique allows both the pork and potatoes to cook perfectly while giving the garlic time to mellow and infuse, so it flavors-but doesn't overpower-the dish. At the same time, the potatoes absorb flavor from the meat and the garlic, so by the time you take the skillet out of the oven, they're deeply savory. The whole meal is so elegant and delicious that people naturally assume it's taken loads of time to prepare, which is why we keep this recipe in our back pockets for those situations when there's pressure to impress.
