Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the orecchiette
- Save one-fourth of the braised pork shoulder for another use (see Chef’s Tip). Let the remaining pork come to room temperature.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until just tender, 11 to 13 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta water.
While the water is heating and the orecchiette is cooking, prepare the pork sugo.
2
Cook the pork sugo
- Set aside half the Parmesan for serving.
In a large sauce pot over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the pork, stirring to break it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the marinara, ¼ cup [½ cup] reserved pasta cooking water, as many chile flakes as you like, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the orecchiette and half the Parmesan and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the sugo is simmering, prepare the parsley and the kale salad.
3

- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
- Juice half the lemon; save the other lemon half for another use. [Juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon.]
