Faux-Lognese with Pappardelle

True Bolognese sauce takes hours to simmer and deepen. Since the Yucatan-Style Slow-Roasted Pork (page 66) is already deeply flavored from all those hours in the oven, all you need to do is take it on a brief trip to Italy. This makes a very hearty all-inclusive serving for one; you could easily stretch it to serve two by boiling up a little extra pasta and including a salad and some bread on the table.

Cooks' Note

If you don’t have any leftover slow-roasted pork, you can substitute 4 ounces of raw ground pork. Brown it in the skillet before adding the bacon-and-vegetable mixture and proceed with the directions.
