This is a great dish I made up after a very inspiring day at the local market. There happens to be a great mushroom vendor there and it was just a perfect dish for that chilly day.
1 Pound Pasta or Ravioli, whichever shape you prefer
1 Pound Ground Pork
1/2 pound chopped mushrooms, any kind that you really enjoy
1 Carrot, small dice
1 Celery rib, small dice
1 Onion, small dice
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 TB Olive Oil
1 TB tomato paste, optional
Handful chopped parsley
1 half cup Amontillado Sherry, or white wine if that is all you have
1 Large can of whole tomatoes
*Saute the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add mushrooms and saute 2-4 minutes, then add the pork and cook thru.
*Add the sherry or white wine and reduce.
*Add the tomato paste and incorporate into mixture.
*Add the can of whole tomatoes, making sure to crush them with your hands before they hit the pot. This process will help them break down quicker.
*Simmer on med-low for about 1-2 hours.
*Serve over your favorite pasta with lots of Parmesan cheese.
Buon Appetito
