Few dishes capture the heart of Italian comfort food like a rich, slow-cooked ragu served over handcrafted pasta. At Balagio Restaurant in Homewood, our Pappardelle Ragu is a dish that brings together time-honored tradition, bold flavors, and the perfect balance of texture and richness—all in one satisfying bowl.
The Star of the Dish: Slow-Simmered Beef & Pork Ragu
A true ragu is a labor of love, requiring patience, attention to detail, and the right blend of ingredients to achieve that deep, soul-warming flavor. Our ragu is made with:
✔ Tender beef & pork, slow-braised for hours to develop a deep, meaty richness.
✔ San Marzano tomatoes, known for their natural sweetness and vibrant acidity.
✔ Garlic, onions, and fresh herbs, slowly simmered to enhance every layer of flavor.
✔ A splash of red wine, adding depth and complexity to the sauce.
Cooked to perfection over low heat, this ragu is hearty, comforting, and bursting with traditional Italian flavor.
Pappardelle: The Perfect Pasta for Ragu
Not all pasta is created equal, and when it comes to a sauce as robust as ragu, only pappardelle will do. Our extra-wide egg noodles are ideal for soaking up every bit of the rich, meaty sauce. The result? Every bite is coated in velvety goodness, with the perfect balance of texture and flavor.
