Slow-simmered Bolognese sauce paired with tagliatelle for a rich Italian dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 ounces pancetta bacon, finely diced
  • 3 carrots, finely diced
  • 3 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 2 onions, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (28 ounce) can San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes, drained
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) box tagliatelle pasta
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a pan over medium heat, cook pancetta until crisp and it has released its fat for about 7 to 8 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and onions and cook until vegetables soften and onions are translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a 4-quart pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Break up ground beef and pork into small chunks and add to the pot. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Combine the pancetta-vegetable mixture with the ground meat, then pour in the wine. Cook over medium-low heat, continuously stirring and breaking up the meat until finely ground, allowing the wine to evaporate and the pot to almost dry out, which should take about 13 to 15 minutes. Next, add in the tomatoes, nutmeg, salt, and red pepper. Use the back of a spoon to crush the tomatoes and further break down the meat into small pieces for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Combine beef stock and heavy cream in the pot. Lower heat to the lowest setting and simmer partially covered, stirring occasionally, for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the tagliatelle until it's al dente, about 8 minutes. Save 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta well.
  • Combine the pasta with the flavorful Bolognese sauce until well incorporated, adding reserved pasta water as needed for a silky finish. Garnish with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
