I cooked Pasta & Pomarola 12 times.

Pasta & Pomarola

With my pomarola. I crisped the meat separately.

It was great tomorrow as leftovers. Maybe the best pasta I've done. I'm not sure what the secret was - crisping the meat separately (and putting it on top of the sauce so it didn't soak over night) helped, and I remembered to save some pasta water to thin it as the pasta cooked, but it just turned out great.

Pasta & Pomarola (Dinner)

I cooked the meat separately. Made things go faster and the meat got crisp (even over medium heat, with some patience). I'd do it this way again. Sauce and meat cooking

Pasta & Pomarola

Some of my pomarola sauce that I'd cooked up with meat, and frozen - then thawed for tonight.

Pasta & Pomarola (Dinner)

With Sauteed Broccoli

With pork & onion.

I put 1.5 jars of sauce in, cooked the pasta 2 minutes short (not yet al dente), and then cooked it a bit longer in the sauce. Turned out great! Except this was the sauce batch without enough salt.

I liked the sauteed broccoli. Next time maybe put the garlic in after the broccoli has been going for a few minutes? It got pretty dark.
