My husband’s favorite pasta dish is this one…half of what he loves about it is that every time we make it, we make it together. We open a bottle of wine, put on some music and start cooking! The four different meats; sausage, pancetta, ground beef and ground pork are cooked until very tender in a delicious tomato sauce. We have served this yummy pasta dish for many family and friend get-togethers…it’s always a huge hit.

Rigatoni with Four Meat Ragù
2 hot Italian sausages
2 mild Italian sausages
4 oz pkg diced Pancetta
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 carrots, peeled & diced small
1 sweet onion, peeled & diced small
4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup beef broth
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 lb Rigatoni
fresh parsley
fresh Parmesan cheese

In a large deep skillet, crumble the sausages and start to brown on medium-high heat. Add in the pancetta and continue to cook for about 5-8 minutes; chopping the meat as small as possible. Add in the ground beef and ground pork and cook 8-10 minutes; again, chopping the meat as small as possible. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, fresh ground pepper to taste, and the allspice. Add in the diced carrots & onion and the minced garlic. Cook 5-8 minutes until carrots are tender. Pour in the red wine and the beef broth along with the crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, put the lid on and cook on low a minimum of 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the Rigatoni as package directs; drain. Combine the Rigatoni with the Four Meat Ragù and top with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Makes 6-8 servings.

Enjoy!
