Important in this, as in all cases in which game is cooked, is to learn how to remove the wild flavor from wild boar meat.
Nothing that a good marinade cannot solve.
For the rest, the recipe for tagliatelle with wild boar sauce is perfect for any occasion, from Sunday lunch to dinner with friends.
1) Start by marinating the wild boar meat. The previous evening, cut it into pieces and marinate it in a bowl with 200 ml of Monferrato Rosso, a carrot, a stalk of celery, an onion and parsley. The following day, drain the meat from the marinade (it should not be used but thrown away with the vegetables it contains).
2) Fry the remaining onion, carrot and celery and the garlic cloves in a pan with EVO oil. Once golden, add the minced wild boar meat and brown it for a few minutes. Blend with the 200 ml of Monferrato Nebbiolo Doc Il Rocchin remast, add the tomato sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to low and cook the sauce with the lid on. Continue cooking until it has thickened.
3) Cook the tagliolini in abundant salted boiling water, drain al dente and mix with the wild boar ragout.
