Test Kitchen Tip

Seek out San Marzano tomatoes for this ragu. Their flavor is stronger than other canned tomatoes and they’re less acidic.

Instructions

Cook shells in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions; drain.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onions, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, pepper flakes, and oregano; cook until onions soften, 3 minutes. Add pork and cook until no longer pink, breaking up chunks, 67 minutes.

Stir in balsamic; cook until absorbed. Add tomatoes, bring ragu to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and season ragu with salt.

Serve shells with ragu and garnish with Parmesan.
