Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a low-medium heat. Gently sauté the soffritto mix with the chopped herbs for 8-10 minutes until soft. Meanwhile shred the meat from the duck into bite-size pieces.
  2. Add the tomato purée, tinned tomatoes and shredded duck to the pan with 200ml water. Season well, then simmer over a low heat for 40-45 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have concentrated.
  3. Plunge the pasta into boiling salted water and cook for 6-7 minutes, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking water.
