Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Sauce

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.

2

Add the beef braciola, Italian sausage, and ground beef to the pot. Brown the meats on all sides.

3

Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

4

Stir in the tomato sauce, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

5

Cook the Pasta

In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the paccheri and cook according to package instructions, usually about 12-15 minutes, until al dente.

6

Once cooked, drain the pasta and add it directly to the ragú sauce. Toss gently to combine.

7

Serve the paccheri con ragú topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
