Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided frying pan or casserole dish over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring regularly, until softened and golden brown. Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, fennel seeds, crushed chillies and tomato purée and cook, stirring, for a further 2 mins until aromatic. Add the chopped tomatoes, 250ml water, the stock cube, balsamic vinegar, pork, carrots and a pinch of sugar, then season. Bring to a simmer, then cook over a medium heat for 15-18 mins until thickened and the flavour has intensified. Add a splash of water to loosen if you need to.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the tagliatelle for 7-9 mins until cooked to your liking. Taste the ragu and adjust the seasoning if you like.
- Drain the tagliatelle, then stir it through the pan with the ragu. Divide between 4 plates or bowls, then top with Parmesan and thyme leaves, if you like.
- Tip: If you have any leftover gravy from the roast, add a drizzle to the ragu to add even more depth of flavour.
- Cook once, eat twice tip: Use leftovers from our Porchetta-style roast pork to make this recipe.
