Lamb Ragu

Homemade Pappardelle

Brussels Sprouts

Method

Lamb Ragu Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Simmer

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits. Add the cherry tomatoes, broth, thyme, and the seared lamb. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braised Cook

    Cover and reduce heat to low. Let the ragu braise for about 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Pappardelle Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Roll the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into wide strips (about 1 inch).

Brussels Sprouts Preparation

  1. 7

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Cook Pappardelle

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pappardelle for about 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil.

  2. 9

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked pappardelle with the lamb ragu. Serve topped with roasted Brussels sprouts.
