(Courtesy of Woman's Day)

slow cooker pork ragu

Ingredients:
1 can (28 oz.) whole tomatoes, drained
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 c. dry white wine
2 tsp. dried oregano
Kosher salt and pepper
2 1/2 lb. pork shoulder, trimmed and quartered
12 oz. pappardelle or other wide noodle
1/2 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz.)

Directions:
In a 5-6 qt. slow cooker, combine the tomatoes, garlic, carrots, onions, wine, oregano and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper.

Add the pork to the slow cooker and cook, covered, until the pork is cooked through and easily pulls apart, 6-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high.

20 minutes before serving, cook the pasta according to package directions.  Using a fork, break the meat into smaller pieces, then stir it into its cooking liquid; fold in the parsley.  Serve the pork over the pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
