Pasta

Bolognese Sauce

Fried Egg

Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pappardelle

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Bolognese Sauce

  1. 2

    Make the Bolognese Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  2. 3

    Add Meat and Tomatoes

    Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until reduced by half. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

  3. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the milk and fresh basil leaves towards the end of cooking, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Fried Egg

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked pappardelle with the bolognese sauce until well coated. Serve topped with a fried egg and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
