Any dish that the kids will eat and that doesn’t require hands-on time is one that we will be making on repeat in our house.  And, as you can see, Ben loved it too!

Ingredients for pork ragu sauce

What ingredients do you need for pork ragu pasta sauce?

It may look like a lot, but they are simple ingredients, I promise!

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Fennel bulb
  • Small yellow onion
  • Medium stalks celery
  • Garlic cloves
  • Pork shoulder
  • Garbanzo beans,
  • Tomato puree
  • Beef or chicken stock
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Salt
  • Dried rosemary, oregano and parsley
  • Penne pasta or egg noodles – I prefer to use pappardelle
  • Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, for topping

Ingredients in Instant Pot

This pork dinner is the best because everything is made in the Instant Pot, so I’m really only washing a handful of dishes.  Plus, the dish always makes me feel at home – there’s just something about it.

Is an Instant Pot worth it?

In my opinion, YES!  I use this one and love it.  For a recipe this rich and hearty, it would take much much longer on the stovetop.  Plus, if you every want to make soups, an Instant Pot is a must!  Fresh soup like this or this on the table in no time at all.

The best part about this recipe is that it is a pasta with homemade sauce all in one.  And don’t forget the most delicious pork to really tie the dish together.

I made this goulash recipe a couple of years ago and it was a recipe I had enjoyed all throughout my childhood.  I describe it as warm and fuzzy and this dish is just the same.

      Great question, thank you for asking! I would use a little less broth, so 2/3 cup vs. 1 cup, but everything else stays the same!
