Farfalle with Sheep Ragù

The farfalle with sheep ragù is not a typically Abruzzese dish, but it becomes one since it contains sheep
meat inside, and only here do we create such dishes, as with our famous arrosticini we make extensive use of this type of meat, which is somewhat calorie-dense but of absolute deliciousness.
You can also prepare the ragù the day before, perhaps on Saturday, so on Sunday, you’ll have a royal first course.
Get some sheep meat and cut it into small cubes like the ones on the skewers of Abruzzese arrosticini.
Cook the ragù slowly without rushing, and if it becomes too thick, add a splash of water, and if you need to extend the cooking time a little, it doesn’t matter, you’ll still have a respectable ragù, and I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied.
So let’s get to work and create this first course that’s finger-licking good.

My name is Francesca Mele, and "Lo scrigno del buongusto" is the name of my blog. I am a true Abruzzese, and after several years with a cooking website, I decided to start a blog. I have been online for a total of 12 years now, so many of you have known me for a long time! I love cooking and I am neither a chef nor a professional cook; I simply have a passion for cooking, preparing, and inventing new dishes. The recipes you find on my blog are not copied, and even the photos are not downloaded from the internet; they are my own.
