Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ragu

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Wine

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, pour in the red wine and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the ragu is ready, stir in the fresh basil and adjust seasoning if necessary. Toss the cooked pappardelle with the ragu. Serve hot, topped with shaved parmesan cheese.
