Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Estofado

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Ragu

    Cover and let the ragu simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Remove bay leaves from the ragu. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the beef ragu in the pot or serve the ragu over the spaghetti on plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
