About Lamb ragu

Lamb Ragu is a rich and flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty sauce over pasta or polenta. Made with tender lamb, slow-cooked in a tomato-based sauce with aromatics like onions, garlic, carrots, and celery, it features herbs such as rosemary and thyme for added depth. Red wine is typically included in the cooking process, enhancing its robust flavor profile. Nutritionally, lamb ragu provides a good source of protein and essential vitamins like B12, as well as minerals such as iron and zinc from the lamb. However, it may contain higher levels of saturated fats depending on the cut of meat used, and the inclusion of wine adds trace alcohol content, which cooks off. The sauce's vegetables contribute fiber and micronutrients, making lamb ragu a balanced indulgence when enjoyed in moderation alongside whole-grain pasta or a lighter side dish.
