Pasta Preparation
- 1
Make the Pasta Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Pasta
After resting, divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion out with a pasta machine or a rolling pin until very thin. Cut into sheets that will fit your baking dish.

Cook the Ragù
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the canned tomatoes, red wine, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh basil before removing from heat.
