  • Spaghetti With Pork

    I think I like Pork better than Beef.   Especially in meatballs and meat sauces.  In the past I would use a combination of the two.   But lately, more often than not I use just pork.

    The other night I made a sauce using just lean ground pork.  This was a quick sauce, taking less than an hour to simmer. So very do able on a work night.  And served over spaghetti.  I used fresh tomatoes, but canned would have worked just as well.   I also used both dried basil and fresh basil.  The fresh gets added at the end, just before serving.

    INGREDIENTS
    • 1 pound lean ground pork
    • 1 small onion chopped
    • 2 to 3 garlic cloves
    • 2 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes
    • 1 cup of chicken broth
    • Crushed Red Chili Flakes
    • Dried basil
    • Fresh rosemary
    • Fresh basil
    DIRECTIONS
    1. Brown ground pork in a little olive oil.
    2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
    3. Saute until onions are tender.
    4. Add the chopped tomatoes, dried basil, Chili Flakes, rosemary and chicken broth.  Season with salt and Pepper , cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
    5. Just before serving add the chopped basil. Serve over your favourite pasta shape. 
    What is your favorite type of pasta?
