Aragonese Influencer Shares Recipe for Papardelle with Lamb Ragout and Borage Cream
A popular online creator is gaining attention for a recent video showcasing a traditional Aragonese dish: papardelle pasta with a slow-cooked lamb and garnacha (a Spanish red wine) ragout, served with a creamy borage sauce and finished with Tronchón cheese.
The video demonstrates a detailed preparation process. The borage, a leafy green vegetable, is carefully cleaned, peeled, and cut into sticks before being blanched in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes.Crucially, the cooking water is reserved for later use – a tip emphasized by the chef. The blanched borage is then sautéed with garlic and olive oil and blended into a smooth cream.
The lamb ragout requires a lengthy cooking time of one and a half hours to ensure the meat becomes tender enough to shred. After the meat is cooked and shredded, the sauce is reduced to concentrate its flavors.
The chef selects papardelle pasta from Pasta Garofalo, a brand sponsoring the video. This wide, ribbon-like pasta is ideal for clinging to rich, hearty sauces like the lamb ragout. The pasta is cooked in the reserved borage water and then tossed in the pan with the ragout to fully integrate the flavors.
the dish is plated with a base of the borage cream, topped with the papardelle and lamb ragout, and finished with grated Tronchón cheese.
The recipe,completed in just over a minute and a half,has resonated with the influencerS followers. Comments highlight the dish’s completeness, nutritional value, and deliciousness, with many expressing pride in the Aragonese culinary tradition.
