Yield -

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound rigatoni
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 large can (28 ounces) peeled and chopped tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 pound whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup grated Parmesan or aged Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • 1 Preheat an oven to 350ºF. 2 Bring a large pot two-thirds full of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni, stir well and cook until al dente (tender but firm to the bite), about 15 minutes or according to the package instructions. Drain the rigatoni, place in a large bowl and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside. 3 In the same pot, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. 4 Add the beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until no pink remains, about 10 minutes. Drain off any fat. 5 Add the parsley, oregano and tomatoes and stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the tomatoes break down and the flavors have melded, about 20 minutes. 6 Stir in the cream, raise the heat and return to a boil. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Return the rigatoni to the pot with the sauce and toss to coat well. 7 Oil the bottom of a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Spread half of the pasta mixture in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Top with the remaining pasta, the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan. 8 Bake until the sauce is bubbly and the top is crusty and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, let stand for about 5 minutes and serve.

Rigatoni With Beef Ragu Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb boneless beef chuck-eye roast, cut into 4 pieces and trimmed of fat
kosher salt
pepper
2 oz pancetta, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 oz salami, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 small carrot, peeled, and cut into 1/2" pieces
1 small rib celery, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 1/2 lbs onions, halved and cut into 1" pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons minced fresh marjoram (or oregano as a substitute)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb rigatoni
1 oz Pecorino romano cheese, grated, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle beef wit salt and pepper then set aside. Preheat the oven to 300F. 2. Process the pancetta and salami in a food processor until ground into a paste (about 30 seconds). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add carrot, garlic, and celery and process an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the paste to a Dutch oven and set aside. Do not clean out the processor bowl. Pulse the onions in the processor in two batches until they form about 1/8" to 1/4" pieces. 3. Cook the panchetta mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the fat is rendered and a fond begins to form on the bottom of the pot (about 5 minutes). Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until browned (about 90 seconds). Stir in 2 cups of water and scrape up any of the fond on the bottom of the pot. Stir in the onions and bring to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup wine, the parlsey, and 1 tablespoon marjoram (or oregano if using). Add the beef and push into the onions to ensure the beef is submerged. Transfer to the oven and cook, uncovered, until the beef is fully tender (about 2 to 2 1/2 hours). 4. Transfer the beef to a carving board. Place the Dutch oven over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is almost completely dry. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup wine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-size pieces, then stir the beef, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, cover, and keep warm. 5. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add rigatoni and 2 tablespoons salt. Cook, stirring often, until just al dente. Drain the rigatoni and add to the warm sauce. Add the pecornio and stir vigorously over low heat until the sauce is slightly thickened and the rigatoni is fully tender (1 to 2 minutes). Serve, garnishing with extra pecorino. 6. Enjoy!
