- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 90 min
- Makes: 1 serving (411 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: alcohol, beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten, pork, sulphite
Ingredients
- 110 g Pasta, fresh egg
- 90 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 40 g Pork, ground, raw
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 20 g Carrots, raw
- 20 g Celery, raw
- 15 g Tomato paste
- 30 g Wine, red
- 30 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Olive oil
- 15 g Parmesan cheese
- 1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
Method
- Finely chop the onion, carrot and celery and cook them in the olive oil over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes until soft.
- Add the beef and pork and cook, breaking up any lumps, until well browned and no pink remains (internal temperature at least 74 °C/165 °F).
- Stir in the tomato paste and red wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes to cook off the raw wine smell.
- Add the milk and enough water to just cover, season with the salt and pepper, then part-cover and simmer very gently for 1.5-2 hours, stirring occasionally and topping up with a little water if it dries out, until deeply savory and thick.
- Cook the fresh tagliatelle in plenty of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then drain.
- Toss the pasta with a couple of spoonfuls of the ragù to coat, plate up with more ragù on top, and finish with the grated parmesan.
