This Pasta Has No Business Being This Good

Everyday Ingredients Turned Next Level

I couldn’t believe how good this pasta dish was. As I said before, it has no business being this good. It’s just pork, carrot, rosemary, leek… and butter. Quite a bit of butter. But still. None of these are extraordinary ingredients and this dish tastes extraordinary.

I am always scouring Italian food content looking for inspiration and new recipes and new techniques and that’s where I found this dish. I had seen some people grate carrot before for a Bolognese, but I had never seen grated carrot as one of the primary ingredients. This is similar to a Ragu Bianco but it’s a simpler version. No white wine, no onions, no garlic and just one type of ground meat.

A girlfriend of mine just made this for her husband’s birthday dinner and texted after WTF. This is the best thing I have eaten in a long long time. How? Why is this so good? The simple answer is, I don’t know. It just is.

The Italians just know how to turn simple ingredients into a thing of beauty. It’s what they do. So I just continue to sit and watch and learn and then turn around and share you all.
