Pappardelle and Veal Ragu Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare 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.

2

Make the Veal Ragu

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Garlic and Veal

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the ground veal, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned all over, about 8-10 minutes.

4

Incorporate Tomatoes and Wine

Pour in the diced tomatoes and red wine. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

5

Simmer the Ragu

Add the beef broth, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked pappardelle with the veal ragu until well combined. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
