Ribbon Pasta With Pork Ragu and Fresh Sage

Name: Ribbon Pasta With Pork Ragu and Fresh Sage
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound ribbon pasta (such as mafalde); 2 cups jus, heated and reduced (from Braised Pork Shoulder ); 2 cups shredded pork, heated (from Braised Pork Shoulder ); 2 tablespoons fresh sage, thinly sliced; Pecorino Romano cheese

Reserved jus is reduced into a sauce to coat long ribbons of pasta (we like mafalde because it holds on to the meat well). The rich flavor of sage is a natural pairing with pork.

This was a very easy recipe and a great way to use up leftover braised pork, however I found it a little dry and bland. Throwing the sage in was a bit of a cop out for giving it some real flavour. I'll probably find a different way to use up my leftover pulled pork in the future.
