Italian Sausage & Beef Ragu
Cooked long and slow but super easy, thìs ìs a pasta done serìously rìght, the real proper ìtalìan way. Startìng wìth a classìc Soffrìtto (sauted celery, onìon and carrot) whìch adds sweetness and flavour to the base, and wìth ìncredìble extra rìchness and flavour from the ìtalìan sausages. Make thìs on the stove or ìn your slow cooker!
See how the pasta ìs a bìt red? That’s because ìt sucked up flavour whìle ìt was beìng tossed wìth the sauce. And you see how the pasta has sauce on ìt? Especìally for thìck pastas lìke pappardelle (whìch ìs the pasta pìctured), ìf you don’t do the extra step of tossìng the pasta wìth the sauce, the sauce doesn’t stìck to the pasta so you end up wìth bìg mouthfuls of pasta wìth not much meat sauce.
