I recently learnt Ragu is not a tomato sauce. Rather, its a sauce made with ground meats and flavored with tomato paste or a little tomato sauce. Ragu is rich and meaty, should be cooked gently without high heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rag\u00f9 ideally should be served with fresh long pasta, preferably egg pasta. I didn’t have long egg pasta so I served it with penne, which actually worked out well because the sauce hides in the hollow insides giving a delicious tightly woven mouthfeel. I made the sauce with ground turkey for a lighter meat and enhanced the flavors with fennel, olive oil and a good dry red wine to give the sauce the rich flavor you would get from red meats. and it worked really well.<\/p>\n\n\n
