I was craving something simple yet flavorful, and an Italian-style ragu immediately came to mind. In Italy, "ragu" refers to a rich, ground meat-based sauce traditionally served over pasta.
For a quick and easy twist, I decided to prepare this ragu using a whole pork chop, making the process even more convenient without sacrificing taste. To enhance the depth of the sauce, I stirred in a bit of tomato paste. Fresh basil, with its fragrant aroma, not only brightens the dish but also adds a vibrant pop of color, elevating the entire meal.
