Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Wild Boar

    Add the ground wild boar to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Stock

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce. Stir in the tomato paste, chicken stock, bay leaves, and thyme.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pappardelle

    While the sauce is simmering, cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sauce is ready, remove the bay leaves and combine the pappardelle with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
