Pappardelle al Cinghiale (with wild boar ragout)
Pappardelle al Cinghiale is a distinctive Tuscan pasta dish that serves wide tagliatelle with a spicy, aromatic wild boar ragout. The sauce gets its power from long braising times, red wine and Mediterranean herbs. Hearty, creamy and full of authentic aromas, this dish brings the essence of Tuscany to the plate - best in combination with a noble red wine such as Brunello di Montalcino.
