Umbrian pasta sauces, ragù & condiments
Artisanal Umbrian Sauces and Ragù: Authentic Taste, Time-Honored Tradition
In Umbria, pasta isn’t just a meal — it’s a habit, a rhythm. Recipes don’t chase trends; they follow memory. What ends up on the table often looks the same as it did decades ago, because that’s the point.
WonderUmbria’s sauces follow this line of thinking. They’re not about showing off. They’re made slowly, in small batches, using straightforward ingredients that reflect local taste. No fuss — just flavor that feels grounded.
Wild Boar and Norcina: Two Umbrian Staples
One of the most traditional sauces in the lineup is the wild boar ragù. It's slow-cooked with red wine, tomatoes, and a handful of spices, until it turns rich, thick, and just gamey enough to be interesting — not overwhelming. It clings beautifully to pappardelle, making every bite feel like a proper Umbrian Sunday.
Then there’s Norcina sauce — all about local sausage and a splash of DOCG red wine. It’s rustic, a little peppery, and pairs best with fresh egg pasta or strangozzi. Nothing fancy, but full of character.
Cinta Senese, Chianina, and More
The ragù made with Cinta Senese pork and the one made with Chianina beef are two regional standouts. Both come from prized local breeds, known for their depth of flavor and texture. These sauces are robust, full-bodied, and meant for those who like their pasta bold and satisfying.
For something more familiar, there's a local take on Amatriciana — a simple mix of crispy pork cheek and tomato, done the Umbrian way. Or keep it stripped down with Cacio e Pepe: just pecorino and black pepper, but made with care. No shortcuts, just taste.
The Contadino Spread and Final Touches
The selection wraps up with “Crostino del Contadino,” a rustic spread meant to be enjoyed on warm bread, as an appetizer or to give dishes a heartier twist. It’s simple, savory, and rooted in farmhouse tradition.
Every jar is preservative-free and made in small batches, following artisanal methods. Serving these sauces means choosing authenticity — not just in taste, but in the values behind each recipe.
All our Umbrian pasta sauces are ready to use and made to elevate any dish with real, regional character.
