A Ragu Bolognese
(serves 6)
8 oz. pancetta or salt pork, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/3 c. olive oil
1 large carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium-sized onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 c. semi-dry red wine (e.g., Lambrusco)
1 T. chopped fresh garlic
1 pound chopped stew meat or ground beef
1 T fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 t. dried
1 T. fresh thyme, chopped, or 1 t. dried
2 c. chopped tomatoes with their juice
1/2 c. whipping cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 lbs. fresh tagliatelli or fettuccine, cooked "al dente"
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook diced
pancetta or salt pork until most of the fat is rendered.
Pour of most of the pork fat and replace it with olive oil.
2. Add carrot, celery and onion and saute 5 minutes or until
onion is translucent and just beginning to brown. Add wine
and garlic and cook another 5 minutes or until wine has
boiled away and vegetables are beginning to fry again. You
will hear them sizzle when the liquid is gone.
3. Add the beef and chopped herbs; then cook another five
minutes, or until the beef is browned. Add tomatoes and
reduce heat to low.
4. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for at least two
hours, or until the liquid has almost completely evaporated.
Do not allow the sauce to dry out or stick. As soon as most
of the liquid is gone, stir in the cream and continue
simmering for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cream is
translucent and thoroughly incorporated into the sauce.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Serve the ragu in small amounts with hot cooked pasta.
Pass grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese separately.
