Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ragu

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Beef and Garlic

    Add the ground beef and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Stir to combine and let the ragu simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Combine Pasta and Ragu

    Once the ragu is thickened, add the cooked primirigatoni to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the pasta, topping each serving with stracciatella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
