Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pappardelle

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the pappardelle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Beef Ragù

  1. 2

    Make the Ragù

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

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Beef

    Stir in the minced garlic and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir well and let the ragù simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes.

Zucchini Flowers

  1. 6

    Prepare Zucchini Flowers

    Gently rinse the zucchini flowers under cold water. Pat dry and set aside.

Foie Gras Butter

  1. 7

    Make Foie Gras Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and foie gras. Mix until well blended and smooth.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the ragù, add the cooked pappardelle and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

  2. 9

    Add Zucchini Flowers and Peppers

    Gently fold in the zucchini flowers and diced sweet peppers. Allow to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 10

    Finish with Foie Gras Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in the foie gras butter until melted and incorporated into the pasta.

  4. 11

    Serve

    Plate the pappardelle and garnish with additional black pepper if desired. Serve warm.
