Pappardelle and Bolognese Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Make the Pappardelle

In a large bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Roll out the Dough

After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces. Roll each piece out to about 1/8 inch thickness using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into 1-inch wide strips to form pappardelle. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.

3

Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute.

4

Brown the Meats

Add ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.

5

Add Tomatoes and Wine

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine. Stir to combine, then season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Cook the Pappardelle

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pappardelle for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

7

Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked pappardelle with the Bolognese sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil on top.
