Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces leftover cooked roast beef (chuck, cross rib, or top round)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 each garlic cloves, chopped, or more if desired
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans unseasoned tomato sauce
1 cup Holland House® Red Cooking Wine
2 teaspoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
½ cup half-and-half
1 (12 ounce) package Hot, cooked wide noodles such as tagliatelle or pappardelle
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop, or shred by hand, enough cooked roast beef to make 1-1/2 cups. If meat is cold, cut into chunks and warm slightly in microwave to make hand-shredding easier.
  • Heat olive oil in a 4-quart pot and gently cook garlic, basil, oregano and rosemary about 3 minutes. Stir in the 1-1/2 cups beef and tomato paste. Add tomato sauce, red cooking wine, brown sugar and cinnamon or nutmeg, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in half & half. Serve over pasta, sprinkled with cheese if desired.

I've been making this ragu sauce for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of beef, pork, and veal is perfect, and the slow-simmered sauce is so flavorful. I always serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all that delicious
