Ingredients: 1.5 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks. Salt and black pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 carrot, diced. 1 celery stalk, diced. 1 cup red wine. 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes. 2 bay leaves. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon dried basil. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. 1 lb tagliatelle pasta. Grated Parmesan cheese for serving. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Season pork shoulder chunks with salt and black pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook until vegetables are softened. Pour in red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Return the seared pork shoulder to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then cover and let it braise for 2-3 hours or until the pork is tender. Cook the tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions. Serve the braised pork over cooked tagliatelle, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful Braised Pork Pasta!
