Recipe information

Make Garganelli Bolognese in just 1h 30m. Fresh noodles tossed with housemade meat sauce

Preparation Steps

1. Making the Garganelli Pasta

In a large bowl, mix the flour and eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Rolling the Pasta

After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine into thin sheets. Cut the sheets into squares (about 2 inches).

3. Forming Garganelli

To shape the pasta, take a square and wrap it around a wooden dowel or a gnocchi board, pressing to create ridges. Slide off and place on a floured surface.

4. Making the Bolognese Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

5. Cooking the Meat

Add ground beef and pork to the skillet, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

6. Building the Sauce

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for at least 30 minutes.

7. Cooking the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the garganelli for about 3-4 minutes until al dente.

8. Combining Pasta and Sauce

Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat, adding a bit of pasta water if needed.

9. Serving

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
