Ragù Meat Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a food processor, finely chop the onions, carrots, and celery.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, gently soften the vegetables and garlic in the oil for about 1 hour, stirring frequently. Add oil, as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Add the tomato paste and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring until the olive oil becomes orange in colour.

4. 4

   Increase the heat and add the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the wine and bring to boil. Simmer gently for about 2 hours, stirring frequently, until the sauce has a good consistency. Add the herbs and season to taste.

5. 5

   Serve over broad pasta, like fresh tagliatelle, if you want to respect the tradition. Otherwise, fettuccine or pappardelle would also be good choices. Serve with a green salad and a glass of red wine. Buon Appetito!
