Ragu in the Pot

Dressed Ragu on the plate

We decided to make a Pork Ragu. This is a favorite of mine. You cook Pork Shoulder with the bone until the meat falls off the bone. In an unusual twist wide Lasagna Noodles are broken in pieces and cooked. The Ragu is then mixed with the cooked (boiled) broken lasagna and served topped with arugula and parmesan cheese. Warning: Don’t follow the recipe for boiling time on the lasagna box. The timing on most boxes assume that you are going to take the softened noodles and place in a baking pan and bake. This recipe is not baked. You need to test the noodles and remove from the boiling water when appropriately cooked. You can get the recipe for the Pork Ragu on our blog of: Oct. 20, 2010.

Shumon joined us and we started with Smoked Trout Salad served over lettuce. We make a Sauce of Yogurt and Horseradish to go with the trout.

We purchased the pork and the Smoked Trout at McCall’s Meat and Fish.
