Slow-cooked lamb ragu

Slow-cooked lamb ragu

Slow-cooked, marinated shoulder of lamb makes the sweetest, most delicious of roasts – but shredding the tender meat and folding it into a tomato-based sauce, made piquant with herbs and vinegar and topped with sweet roast baby roma tomatoes, takes it to another level entirely. Toss it through wide ribbon pasta – or a chunky shape like penne – or serve over gnocchi or soft polenta. A final flurry of Parmesan, a nice sharp salad on the side and there’s your midweek Italian fix sorted. 

The usual pairing for this sort of meaty ragu is pappardelle or another wide ribbon pasta, but it would also be good tossed through a chunkier pasta shape like penne or casarecce, or served with gnocchi or soft polenta. A salad with some crunch on the side would be good – shaved fennel, cabbage and Parmesan or rocket, radicchio and watercress – dressed with a lemony vinaigrette.
