Tagliatelle with venison ragù

venison lamb

olive oil

pancetta, chopped

carrot, finely chopped

celery stick, finely chopped

onion,

garlic cloves, chopped

bay leaves

thyme

rosemary sprig, all

tbsp ground mixed spice

tomato purée

milliliters red wine

milk

fresh egg tagliatelle

unsalted butter

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C/gas 6. Season the venison well with salt and pepper, put in a small-medium roasting tin and drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 1 hour until well browned outside and more or less cooked (it doesn’t matter if it’s well done or rare). Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin, reserving the roasting juices.

Heat a heavy casserole with a lid over a medium heat and add the pancetta, along with the remaining oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the pancetta starts to brown and crisp and the fat is released, then mix in the chopped vegetables, garlic, herbs, mixed spice and tomato purée. Turn the heat to low and cook gently for 20 minutes until tender but without colour.

Meanwhile, dice the roast venison into roughly 1cm cubes. Add the meat to the tender vegetables in the pan and mix together. Raise the heat to high and fry for 10 minutes until some of the meat starts to brown at the edges. Add the roasting juices, wine and milk. It may look curdled but it’ll come back together during cooking.

Bring to a simmer, cover with the lid slightly ajar, then cook gently for around 3 hours, stirring every so often. You can do this on the hob over a low heat or in the oven at 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. It’s ready when the oil collects on the surface, the meat is very tender and the gravy has thickened. You may need to add a splash of water during cooking if it dries out too much or raise the heat towards the end if it looks a little wet. At the end of cooking, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring a large pan of well salted water to the boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook until it’s still quite firm to the bite (leave it even more al dente than you like, as it will continue to cook in the sauce). Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water, then add the pasta to the ragù, along with the butter. Add just enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce slightly. Put the whole lot on a warmed serving platter or put in individual bowls, then top with lots of parmesan to serve.

Quick Pork Ragu with Ravioli

lb. cheese ravioli

clove garlic (finely chopped)

lb. pork

salt

pepper

tomato paste

dry white wine

c. flat-leaf parsley (roughly chopped)

Grated Parmesan,

I give you Braised Beef Ragu with Fettuccine for when you need a comforting and delicious dish. This slow braised, fall-apart-tender beef is cooked in a rich tomato and veggie sauce served over a bed of al dente fettuccine.

Beef Ragu

chuck roast (cut into 2 inch pieces)

salt (or

pepper (or

onion

celery (chopped)

carrot (chopped)

Italian seasoning

garlic (minced)

rosemary (chopped)

sage leaves (chopped)

beef broth

tomatoes

Parmesan cheese rind (optional)

parsley (chopped)

Fettuccine (dry)

Parmesan cheese (shredded)

Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees.

In a oven-proof Dutch oven such as a braiser, heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is sizzling hot, add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste. Work in batches if your Dutch oven is not big enough to fit all the meat.

Remove the meat from the Dutch oven and add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.&nbsp;

Add the onion, celery, carrots, Italian seasoning and stir. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent, and the veggies soften.

Add the garlic, rosemary, sage and tomato paste. Pour the red wine and beef broth and stir. Stir in crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil. If adding the cheese rind, add it now, it will kick up the flavor of the sauce. The rind won't melt, it will just sit in your sauce and infuse the sauce with extra umami.&nbsp;

Add the meat back to the Dutch oven, cover with a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 3 hours with the lid on.

20 minutes before the 3 hours are up, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Keep the pasta water.

Transfer the meat from the Dutch oven to a bowl and shred with two forks. The meat should shred easily after being cooked for so long. Remove cheese rind from the Dutch oven and discard.

Add the shredded beef back to the Dutch oven and stir. If the sauce is too thick add some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce a bit. Garnish the sauce with fresh parsley.

Serve over fettuccine with Parmesan cheese.&nbsp;
