- 1 lb rigatoni
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs ground pork
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tomato paste
- 1 cup dry white wine

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package directions until al dente.
-
Step 2.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the chopped garlic in a large skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1½ pounds ground pork, season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the 6-ounce can of tomato paste to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in 1 cup dry white wine and simmer until the wine has mostly evaporated and no longer smells strongly of alcohol, about 5 minutes. Stir in ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley.
-
Step 4.
When the pasta is al dente, drain it well and return it to the pot or a large serving bowl. Pour the pork ragu over the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately, topped with shaved ricotta salata if desired.
