Osso Bucco

Spaghetti

Method

Preparing the Osso Bucco

  1. 1

    Searing the Pork

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork shanks with salt and pepper, then sear them until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Deglazing the Pot

    Pour in the cognac and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any brown bits. Allow the cognac to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Adding Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and the seared pork shanks. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Cooking the Spaghetti

  1. 5

    Boiling the Pasta

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

  2. 6

    Combining with Truffle Oil

    Toss the cooked spaghetti with truffle oil and season with salt to taste.

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of spaghetti, place the braised pork shank on top, and spoon some cognac sauce over it. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
