Pappardelle Bolognese Recipe
This Bolognese recipe is the Southern Italian style where we don’t add carrots and celery and tastes delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pappardelle pasta or whichever you prefer
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/2 Onion chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves chopped
- 25 oz Tomato puree homemade tomato sauce, or I recommend Mutti Tomato Puree
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 cup Dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- 5 Basil leaves
- Parsley
- 2 oz Olive oil
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by pouring a couple tablespoons of olive oil into a dutch oven. Add the meat and cook until all of the water is removed and the meat has browned. Make sure to continuously stir, using a wooden spoon, to cook evenly. You know it is ready when you only see oil left in the pan.
- Next, mix in the tomato paste and then add in the garlic and onion. Mix continuously for about two minutes.
- Pour in the wine. Let simmer for about 4 minutes until the alcohol is evaporated.
- Pour in the tomato sauce. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Break apart the basil leaves using your fingers to your desired size and add into the sauce. Mix all together and simmer over a very low flame for at least an hour. The longer it cooks, the more flavorful.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in some sea salt and cook your pappardelle as per the package instructions. Strain the pasta and then add into the sauce dutch oven.
- Mix the pappardelle bolognese all together. Serve in a dish, sprinkle some parsley on top and some freshly grated pecorino cheese and enjoy. Salute! Cin cin!
