This spicy pork ragù with rigatoni is a rich, slow-cooked masterpiece inspired by the bold flavours of Calabria. By combining both minced pork and spicy Italian sausage, the sauce develops a deep, savoury complexity that high-street pasta dishes simply cannot match. The addition of fresh oregano and a hint of chilli flakes provides a gentle warmth, while the long simmering time ensures the meat is melt-in-the-mouth tender.
As a high-protein meal, this hearty pasta dish is perfect for a weekend family dinner or for those looking to meal prep a nutritious, filling lunch. The ragù can even be made several days in advance, allowing the flavours to develop further in the fridge. Serve with a generous grating of Grana Padano and a simple green salad for a complete, restaurant-quality experience at home.
