Best Parmesan Pasta With Beef Ragu Recipes

BEEF PARMESAN WITH GARLIC PARMESAN PASTA

Steps:

• Cut cube steak into individual portions and season with kosher salt and pepper. Combine breadcrumbs and flour with parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Dip each piece of cube steak into the italian dressing and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and cook sliced garlic in the oil until very lightly browned, remove just the garlic from pan and set aside. Brown the steaks in batches until golden brown on each side, adding more oil as needed and remove from the heat-steaks do not need to be cooked all the way through. Arrange the steaks in the skillet and pour spaghetti sauce over the top and finish with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and the steaks are cooked through, time will vary depending on thickness of the steaks.
• While steaks are in the oven, cook pasta according to package directions and drain, saving 1 C of the starchy cooking water. Add reserved garlic, butter and parmesan cheese to hot pasta, adding the cooking water as needed to loosen it up. Serve steaks and sauce alongside the pasta.

ULTIMATE BEEF RAGU

Steps:

• Heat a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high and fry the bacon until done.Add the butter and olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and cook until tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Add the ground beef and sausage and cook, breaking up the lumps, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. (If you like you can drain some of the grease.)Add the wine, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, heavy cream and remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.Serve with hot al dente pasta of your choice along with a sprinkle with Parmesan-Reggiano cheese.Note: This sauce is even better the next day after the flavors have had more time to meld!

PARMESAN PASTA WITH BEEF RAGU

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.
