Lamb and Mint Ragu

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ medium yellow onion (about ½ cup)

shallots (about ¼ cup)

garlic (minced)

½ lb ground lamb

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

lb tagliatelle (or other long flat pasta)

oz marinara sauce (store-bought

red wine

ricotta

mint, (chopped, plus more for serving)

parmesan cheese (for serving)

Sweat the aromatics. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, deep skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and shallot and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, stir, then cook 30 seconds longer.

Brown the lamb. Add ground lamb to the skillet, then season with kosher salt and black pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break lamb apart. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Deglaze the pan. Pour in red wine, then scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook at a rapid boil until wine reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Add marinara sauce, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.

Cook the pasta. When water is boiling, add tagliatelle (or other pasta) and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta and set aside.

Finish the sauce. Return to ragu and add fresh ricotta cheese and chopped mint leaves. Stir to combine, taste, then adjust seasoning as needed. Simmer until ready to serve! You can either pour spoonfuls of lamb ragu over noodles or add the cooked pasta directly to the pot of ragu, then toss to coat. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese and additional chopped mint, as desired.
