Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep, wide-bottomed pot, add finely chopped vegetables, herbs, and whole garlic cloves, and sauté over high heat for five to eight minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Season the meat with salt and pepper, then place it in the pot with the vegetables. Stir the meat and vegetables occasionally for ten minutes.

Step 3

Then add the wine, stir the contents of the pot, and cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Remember to stir the meat mixture and vegetables occasionally.

Step 4

After the wine has mostly evaporated from the pot, first add the tomato paste, stir, and simmer for three minutes. Then pour in the tomato juice along with a liter of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook on low for one and a half to two hours, occasionally adding a bit more water if necessary, until the mixture turns into a thick sauce. At this stage, you can transfer the pot with the sauce to an oven preheated to 300°F. Stews cooked in the oven will have a richer flavor.

Step 5

Once the sauce is ready, cook the pappardelle. Pour some of the sauce into a deep skillet and sauté the freshly cooked pasta in it for thirty seconds. Serve topped with freshly grated cheese.
