"Ragú Bolognese" from Rome: Nicola Zamperetti puts his own twist on the famous pasta classic.

Nicola Zamperetti

Preparation time: 5 hours 30 minutes

Creative Concept: Florence Wibowo

Ingredients (4 servings)
300 g A little well-done beef
50 g Carrots
50 g Celery stalks
30 g White onion
100 ml Red wine
500 g Pelati
Black pepper, whole
Bay leaf
150 g Tomato paste
1 Rosemary sprig
1 Sage sprig
2 Sprigs of thyme
Olive oil, extra virgin
Salt

Preparation:

  • Peel the onion and carrots and cut into small cubes. Chop the celery into small cubes. Cut the meat into small cubes by hand too.
  • Sauté the diced vegetables in olive oil in a pan. Fry the chopped meat in a heavy pan with a little olive oil over a high heat so that it takes on a nice color.
  • Add the meat to the vegetables, add the wine, tomato purée and pelati and simmer for 5 hours. Place the herbs and peppercorns in a spice bag. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom; if the ragú becomes too thick, add a little water. Season to taste with salt.

Serve with freshly cooked pasta or use in other dishes as desired.
