COUNTRY COOKING SLOW COOKER NECK BONES

• Cover and cook on High until the meat is tender, about 4 hours.

NECK BONES (PORK NECK AND NOODLES)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season neck bones all over with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Add neck bones to pot and sear for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Add onions and 3 cups water. It's O.K. if the water doesn't cover all the neck bones; they will cook down.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and slowly simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
• Remove the cooked neck bones to a separate bowl. Bring liquid to a boil, then add pasta and more salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Stir constantly for the first 2 to 3 minutes to keep pasta from sticking. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
• Meanwhile, if you'd like, remove the meat from the bones using your fingers or a fork. Discard bones and any cartilage. When pasta is done, stir the cooked meat back into the pot. Serve hot alongside a heaping of greens (collard or mustard) and a hunk of cornbread.
