NECK BONES & MACARONI NOODLES Recipe (Page 2 ) | January 14, 2024

Instructions:

Cooking the Neck Bones:

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the pork neck bones and brown them on all sides, allowing a rich crust to develop. This step enhances the flavor of the dish.
3. Once browned, remove the neck bones from the pot and set them aside.

Preparing the Sauce:

1. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
2. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
3. Add the dried thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Return the browned neck bones to the pot, ensuring they are nestled into the sauce.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the neck bones are tender and the flavors have melded.

Adding Macaroni Noodles:

1. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the cooked elbow macaroni noodles. This allows the noodles to absorb the savory flavors of the sauce.
2. Adjust the seasoning if needed and continue simmering until the macaroni is warmed through.
3. Remove the bay leaf and discard.

Serving:

1. Spoon the Neck Bones & Macaroni Noodles onto serving plates.
2. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
