Number Of Ingredients 12

1 beef rump roast (about 3 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound cremini mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled plum tomatoes with juice
2 cups dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound penne or other tubular pasta
Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season beef all over with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add beef, and brown on all sides. Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until edges are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, and crush with spoon. Stir in wine and red-pepper flakes. Return beef to pot, and spoon tomato mixture over top. Cover, and place in oven. Braise until beef is fork-tender, about 4 hours.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add pasta; cook until al dente. Drain, and return to pot.
  • Remove pot from oven. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate. Toss pasta with the sauce; transfer to bowls. Top with pieces of beef, dividing evenly, and garnish with Parmesan.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium carrots, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 lb bulk Italian sausage or links (remove from casing)
1/2 lb ground chuck or lean (at least 80%) ground beef
2/3 cup dry red wine or beef broth
1 can (14 oz) beef broth
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1 tablespoon salt, if desired
1 lb uncooked penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In 3-quart saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat until fragrant. Add carrots and onion. Cook 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until vegetables soften but do not brown. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Crumble sausage and beef into saucepan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up and stirring occasionally, until meat is brown. Drain fat.
  • Increase heat to high. Add wine to meat mixture and stir and scrape bottom of pan as wine boils. Allow wine to evaporate, about 7 minutes or until pan bottom is dry. Add beef broth and chicken broth and return to boiling. Allow mixture to evaporate just as wine did, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  • Add half-and-half to nearly dry pan. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until there is only a glaze left on bottom of pan (be careful-half-and-half can scorch, so stir well).
  • Add tomatoes and fennel and heat mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 20 minutes or until flavors are blended.
  • Meanwhile, fill large pot with 5 quarts water; heat to boiling over high heat. When water is boiling, add salt if desired. When water returns to boil, add pasta. Stir immediately to make sure it doesn't stick to itself or pan. Boil pasta 9 to 10 minutes or until cooked through but still slightly firm. Drain in colander. There is no need to shake off excess moisture.
  • In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat until hot. Add pasta (be careful-leftover water can make oil spatter). Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges of pasta turn slightly brown. Divide pasta evenly among 6 warmed pasta bowls. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Top each with about 1 cup sauce.

Provided by Lorrie

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds beef cube steak
1 onion, sliced into thin rings
1 green bell pepper, sliced in rings
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces Classico® Tomato and Basil Sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 ounces angel hair pasta
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut cube steak into serving size pieces. Coat meat with the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, and saute 1 teaspoon of the garlic for 3 minutes. Quick fry (brown quickly on both sides) meat. Place meat in a casserole baking dish, slightly overlapping edges. Place onion rings and peppers on top of meat, and pour pasta sauce over all.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Sprinkle mozzarella over meat and leave in the oven till bubbly.
  • Boil pasta al dente. Drain, and toss in butter and 1 teaspoon garlic. For a stronger garlic taste, season with garlic powder. Top with grated parmesan and parsley for color. Serve meat and sauce atop a mound of pasta! HINT: make the meat ahead of time, and refrigerate over night, the acid in the tomato sauce will tenderize the meat even more. If you do this, save the mozzarella till the last minute.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
kosher salt
black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups low sodium chicken broth

1 lb assorted mushroom, sliced (button, cremini, shitake)
12 ounces pappardelle pasta or 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, rosemary, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes.

  • Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until tender, 10-12 minutes more. If sauce is too thin, simmer, uncovered, until thickened to the desired consistency.

Tips

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the ragu, as it will need plenty of space to simmer and reduce.
  • Brown the beef in batches to prevent it from steaming and becoming tough.
  • Cook the ragu for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful.
  • Use a good quality Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the best flavor.
  • Add a touch of cream or milk to the sauce for a creamier texture.
  • Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion

Parmesan pasta with beef ragu is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The rich, flavorful sauce and tender beef are perfectly complemented by the al dente pasta. This dish is sure to become a new family favorite.
