Pork & Leek Ragu with Mascarpone
This super quick ragu recipe showcases the natural flavours of the pork mince. The leeks give it a peppery taste, and the mascarpone cheese makes it creamy and delicious.
A tasty meal in minutes
While a slow cooked meat ragu is a marvellous thing, this speedy version is given legs by the use of peppery leeks. The simple beauty of the pork meat is left to shine with only complimentary additions of the herby pesto and creamy meat.
