Pork Collar
Fill your kitchen with the aroma of juicy meat with fresh herbs and succulent vegetables. The slow cooking attracts the whole household to gather around the table. FAAC's headquarters are located in Bologna, and here we quickly learned that classic “Pasta Bolognese” is a myth - in Bologna they serve ragu, nothing else. Pork ragu is a taste experience beyond the ordinary - easy to prepare but luxurious, rustic yet modern. Here you get a dish that not only satisfies, but also offers togetherness and joy. Every step is simple and the result is magical: a stew where the meat becomes so tender that it falls apart, where the pasta is wrapped in deep flavors and where parmesan and parsley put the crown on the work. Take the chance to create a memorable dinner - get started and enjoy cooking at its very best.

Ingredients
- About 1 kg pork loin
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 garlic cloves
- A bunch of fresh thyme
- 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 150 g pancetta
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- Veal stock
- 2 dl white wine
- 0.5 dl whipping cream
- White wine vinegar
- 1 package spaghetti
- Parmesan
- Parsley
Do this
Dry the meat and cut into smaller pieces, salt and pepper the meat. Also take the opportunity to finely chop the yellow onion, garlic, celery and carrot.
Fry the meat until it gets color and remove from the pot.
Fry the onion, carrots, celery until soft and add the pancetta. Then add the tomato paste and fry for a while.
Top up with white wine, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and stock.
Then complete with crushed tomatoes, meat and a little water. The meat should be covered by the liquid. Put the lid on the pot and simmer on low heat for about 3 hours (or until the meat can be pulled apart). Remove the foam that forms from time to time.
When the meat is done, pull it apart and add a little cream and white wine vinegar. Add salt/pepper if necessary.
Boil the spaghetti and then mix it into the pot.
Top with parmesan and finely chopped parsley. Another tip is to have a little chili sauce if you want heat.
