Ingredients

2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 cup red wine
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups beef or chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb pasta of your choice
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the red wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the pork to the pot along with the crushed tomatoes, broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package instructions.
Once the pork is done, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Use two forks to shred the pork into smaller pieces.
Serve the pork ragu over the cooked pasta and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
