材料

1 lb dry ziti or dry rigatoni pasta

2 lbs yellow or white onions (finely chopped)

1 ⅓ lbs lean beef chuck (or blade) (roughly chopped)

3 carrots (peeled and chopped)

2 stalks of celery (cleaned and finely chopped)

2/3 cup dry white wine

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon tomato puree or a few tablespoons tomato sauce (optional)

Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan cheese (optional) to taste)

kosher salt and pepper (to taste)

手順

Clean, peel and finely chop the onions, carrots and celery. You can use a food processor if desired but don't over blend.

Remove excess fat from the piece of beef and cut into 5 large pieces.

Heat the oil for a couple of minutes in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add all the onions and saute until just soft and then add the beef, the carrots and the celery and cook until the meat browns.

Now season with salt and pepper, cover the pan or pot and cook over a low flame for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally and breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon if it is in clumps.

If necessary, you can add a little water or some tomato sauce for braising liquid if the onions don't release enough moisture to cook the meat until tender.

When the meat is well cooked, pour in the white wine and allow the sauce to simmer gently for another hour, stirring from time to time. The onions should have a creamy texture and the meat should be shredded and very soft.

Bring a pot of water to boil, add coarse salt and cook the pasta until al dente, following the instructions on the package.

Set aside a small cup of pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta in a colander. Add the pasta to the sauce, stirring well. You can add the pasta water you set aside if needed to coat the pasta thoroughly.

Serve hot with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan cheese on top for some extra savory flavor if desired.
