Italian Lamb Ragu – Ragu di Agnello – Recently while I was in Italy, I had some truly memorable meals. The Hotel Minerva in Sorrento was the site of several outstanding dishes. #italianfoodrecipes

The recipe I will recreate today is a Lamb Ragu or Ragu di Agnello in Italian. The depth of flavor with this Lamb was as good as I have ever had. And it was served with fresh pappardelle pasta, which is a very wide pasta noodle, and it is in the form of wide ribbons.

And As good Italians do, you finish cooking the pasta in the sauce, letting the rich ragu cling to the fresh, wide noodle pasta.

So here is my recreation of Ragu di Agnello (Lamb Ragu) from the Hotel Minerva n Sorrento Italy.

Our series, “Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders”, was recently profiled in Milwaukee Magazine – https://www.milwaukeemag.com/this-cooking-show-features-milwaukee-community-leaders/

Then a few days later, they were discussing me on the radio. I was kind of shocked to hear people talking about me. It is a local Foodie show – here is the link for the radio show “This Bites”, where my series “Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders” is discussed (it’s in the first few minutes of the show) https://radiomilwaukee.org/podcast/this-bites/2023-05-26/milwaukee-celebrity-cooking-show.
