Ragu Napoletano (Neapolitan Meat Sauce) image

A Mario Batali recipe, to accompany 'Timpano di Maccheroni (the Mythic Pasta Dome)', recipe #85372. When making this, I ended up with ground chuck instead of the regular boneless. I opted not to remove this from the recipe, nor the sausage, which I crumbled. They gave it a nice texture, so just go with whatever you are able to get.

Time 33m

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb boneless veal shoulder, cut into chunks
1/2 lb boneless beef chuck, cut into chunks
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry red wine
2 (28 ounce) cans peeled plum tomatoes, with juice,passed through a food mill
1/2 lb italian sweet sausage (I used hot)
1 pinch hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large pasta pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil until smoking.
  • Season the veal and beef with salt and pepper to taste and sear 5 or 6 pieces at a time over medium heat, until dark golden brown.
  • Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining meat chunks (if using ground chuck, be sure to drain any excess grease from pan).
  • Add the onion to the pan and sauté, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits.
  • Cook until the onions are golden brown and very soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the wine, browned meat chunks, tomatoes, sausages, and pepper flakes and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 2 ½-3 hours, stirring occasionally and skimming off the fat as necessary.
  • Remove from the heat and remove meat and sausages from sauce.
  • Cover well and save for another meal.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and allow to cool.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I can't eat this ragu. :(

This ragu is way too expensive. I can't justify spending that much money on a sauce.

I found this ragu to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.
