When I host a Calabria-themed Supper Club at my studio this is always a favourite dish. So simple and rustic - it really reminds me of Southern Italy, especially the region of Calabria, which is known for the bold flavours of its cuisine.

This is a 2-part recipe: 

  • In Part 1 I show you how to make homemade semolina pasta
  • In Part 2 we make the ragù 

If you want to save time and use dried pasta I suggest using artisanal bronze die pasta - it’s a little more expensive but the pasta holds the ragù better and tastes great.
