Slow-cooked lamb ragu

Slow-cooked lamb ragu

Slow-cooked, marinated shoulder of lamb makes the sweetest, most delicious of roasts – but shredding the tender meat and folding it into a tomato-based sauce, made piquant with herbs and vinegar and topped with sweet roast baby roma tomatoes, takes it to another level entirely. Toss it through wide ribbon pasta – or a chunky shape like penne – or serve over gnocchi or soft polenta. A final flurry of Parmesan, a nice sharp salad on the side and there’s your midweek Italian fix sorted. 

To Serve

The usual pairing for this sort of meaty ragu is pappardelle or another wide ribbon pasta, but it would also be good tossed through a chunkier pasta shape like penne or casarecce, or served with gnocchi or soft polenta. A salad with some crunch on the side would be good – shaved fennel, cabbage and Parmesan or rocket, radicchio and watercress – dressed with a lemony vinaigrette.

    Pasta for plenty

    Super quick and easy to prepare. We had it with parpadelle pasta and a green salad. Plenty of leftovers for lunch next day. Absolute winner.

    Thoroughly delicious meal!

    We all really enjoyed this lamb ragu, the flavour and tenderness of the lamb was delicious.

    I served it with pulse pasta which worked really well (served 3 adults).

    Absolutely delicious!

    We prepared with gnocchi and found this to be super tasty! Made three good-sized servings. Will definitely be adding to our regular orders.
