Spaghetti Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Cheeks

   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season the beef cheeks with salt and black pepper. Sear them in the pot until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Braised Beef Cheeks

   Return the beef cheeks to the pot. Add the beef broth, Calabrian chilies, and dried oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef is tender.

4. 4

   Cook the Spaghetti

   While the beef is braising, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Once the beef cheeks are tender, remove them from the pot and shred the meat. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine. Serve over the cooked spaghetti, garnished with Grana Padano cheese.
