Get ready to take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure. Seriously, after I took my first bite of this One Pot Pasta with Pork Ragù Sauce, I felt like I was right back on the streets of Italy. Sitting outside at a small trattoria, and imersing myself in the Italian food and culture. Actually enjoying my food and sitting for hours sipping on house wine served from a tap and enjoying course after course. My favorite course was typically the primo (the pasta course).

Sure, you can boil the pasta and cook the sauce separately; however, the key to making the One Pot Pasta with Pork Ragù Sauce so flavorful is cooking the pasta in the sauce. I know… mind blown. Crazy talk. But honestly, low and slow is the way to go. This recipe will take around 40 minutes, but I promises you’ll thank me later.

I served the pasta al dente, the true Italian way to serve pasta and my family loved it, but if you like your pasta cooked a little more you can cook it a little longer. Note: if you have leftovers and reheat the next day the pasta will cook thoroughly through. Giving it a totally different taste and of course adding even more flavor to the braised pork pasta!
