Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brown the Meat

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the wild boar chunks and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Return the browned wild boar to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Braise the Ragout

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 6

    Cook the Pappardelle

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Serving

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Remove bay leaves from the ragout. Serve the wild boar ragout over the cooked pappardelle and sprinkle with grana cheese.
