Preparation

Start by chopping the onion, carrot, and celery into small cubes. In a large pan, heat a little olive oil and sauté the vegetables until golden.
Add the wild boar meat and brown it well. Once the meat is nicely browned, add the porcini mushrooms previously cleaned and cut into approximately 1 cm squares and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. If necessary, add a little game stock and let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 10-15’. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, cook the orecchiette in plenty of salted water, following the cooking time on the package. Once ready, drain the pasta and toss it in the pan with the wild boar ragu for a few minutes, stirring well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
Serve the orecchiette hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh thyme and a grind of black pepper.
