Prosciutto crudo (ham) rag\u00f9\u00a0<\/span>a la Bolognese<\/span><\/em>, also popular in Romagna, is a homemade recipe that has been part of my culinary baggage for as long as I can remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not an express sauce or a sauce you can cook in about twenty minutes. It is an authentically traditional rag\u00f9 from the already rich Bolognese repertoire to add to the other meat sauces.<\/span><\/p>\n

I anticipate a possible objection. But how! ham that cooks for a long time? Then it will be inedible. Or at least it will be so tasty that everyone will drink for hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the prosciutto crudo of Parma needs to cook for a long time, about 40 minutes. But, trust me, this rag\u00f9 will be intense but not aggressive or salty. The milk sweetens the ham in a way that will surprise you.<\/span><\/p>\n

One relevant thing concerns the Prosciutto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask the butcher to mince it or finely chop it in the mixer at home, and not simply diced, however small.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Preparation begins with a traditional soffritto made with onion, carrot, and celery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you’ll add mince not knife-cut prosciutto crudo, tomato sauce, wine, and milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

No fear, my Grandma’s recipes are all tested by many tastings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ham rag\u00f9 a la Bolognese goes well with any pasta: dry or egg, long or short. <\/span>I use it to season maccheroncini, tagliatelle, gramigna and also\u00a0<\/span>garganelli<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>strozzapreti<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buona cucina, Monica<\/p>\n
