The ingredients for Rustic Pork Ragu are:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 - 2 1/2 pound boneless pork loin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 35-ounce can crushed tomatoes with juices
1 14.5 oz box Ronzoni Smart Taste Penne, cooked

Here is how you make Rustic Pork Ragu:

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with the salt and pepper and sear on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork; set aside. Add the onion, rosemary, and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any bits of pork stuck to the bottom of the pot. Return the pork to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover the pot tightly and simmer on the stovetop until the pork is tender enough to fall apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.Remove the pork and, when it is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-size pieces. Add the shredded pork back to the stockpot. Simmer until hot.Serve over the pasta with the Romano sprinkled on top.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BUN3KIN.
