Alpenzu’s game and blueberry ragu is a gourmet alternative to a classic Italian meat sauce. Venison and wild boar meat is added to a base of sun-ripened tomatoes, onions, garlic and red wine. The rich, comforting ragu has a subtle tang from blueberries and a hint of spice from juniper, cloves and cinnamon. The complex flavour and wonderful aroma will transport you to the hills of northern Italy! It’s ready to heat and serve in minutes so you can enjoy a night away from the stove.
To serve, simply warm up the ragu and toss it with cooked pasta. Long, ribbon-shaped pasta like pappardelle and tagliatelle is perfect as the wide strands will capture the morsels of slow-cooked meat. Add a grating of Parmesan and pour yourself a glass of red wine - Italian, of course!
