1 lb ground pork
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 rib celery, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper
3/4 lb penne
In a large skillet over medium high heat add the pork, onions, garlic, celery, and mushrooms. Fry for about 8 minutes breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the meat is browned and the veggies are soft. Pour in the jar of spaghetti sauce and scrape up the good bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the balsamic vinegar, basil, sugar, salt and pepper and turn the heat down to low. Simmer and stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes.
Put a large pot of salted water on to boil. The sauce will simmer while the pasta is cooking. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook following package directions.
Drain pasta and serve with the Sweet Basil Pork Ragu over top.
