As you travel in Italy, you will find a number of different ragùs including the classic Bolognese meat sauce. This ragù is similar to one I had in Naples, where pork ribs are cooked in tomatoes until very tender. The meat is removed from the bone and mixed with the tomatoes to form a sauce. In this version I’ve added peas, which add a sweet, mellow flavor.
