A rag\u00f9 from the most authentic Tuscan tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pigeon sauce is one of those dishes that tells the story of Tuscan peasant cooking in its most authentic form: simple ingredients, slow cooking, and a deep flavour that is hard to forget. Perfect for dressing pappardelle or fresh egg pasta, this rag\u00f9 transforms a wild ingredient into something extraordinarily rich and comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Place the pigeons, cut into 4 pieces, in a pan and cook over low heat with garlic, sage, water, olive oil, salt and pepper. Once the pigeons are well cooked, bone them and chop the meat finely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Separately, finely chop the onion, parsley and celery, then saut\u00e9 in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Once the mixture is golden, add the pigeon meat and let it absorb the flavours. Add a splash of wine and, once it has evaporated, stir in two peeled tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    When the sauce is nearly ready, heat some olive oil in a small pan with rosemary and garlic. Strain the infused oil and pour it into the sauce, mixing it well together with the pigeon meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Remove from heat and toss with pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
