The sauce, not from Good Food, not from internet, not eaten out, MINE. My idea that came to my head in the car yesterday, on the way to Winchcombe, where we later found our new home.

I fried a couple of chopped shallots on butter,  threw in some chopped pork, a red pepper, a few dried mushrooms and after a few minutes of quick cooking I poured some red wine onto it, added a chicken boulionette, 2 bay leaves, half a chopped chilli and some water and left to cook covered for about 30 minutes, until the pork was lovely and soft. When it was, I added a mug of passata mixed with some flour and a drop of water, which nicely thickened the sauce, seasoned to taste and that was that.

Cooked the fresh tagliatelle from Waitrose, tossed it all nicely in the sauce, finished with fresh basil and parmigiano. Served with a glass of Pinot Noir.
