Ingredients:

  • 2kg beef shin or osso bucco
  • 4litres beef stock
  • 300g tomato sugo
  • 200mls white wine
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 onion
  • 2 sticks celery
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions:

  • Prepare Vegetables:
    • Chop or blend all the vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, and garlic) in a food processor or robot coupe.
  • Roast Beef:
    • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
    • Roast the beef in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through (20 minutes on one side, then 10 minutes on the other).
  • Prepare Sauce:
    • In a large pot, combine beef stock, tomato sugo, white wine, and the chopped vegetables.
    • Simmer the sauce while the beef is roasting in the oven.
  • Combine Beef and Sauce:
    • Once the beef is roasted, place all the cooked beef in one deep tray.
    • Pour the prepared sauce over the beef in the tray.
    • Cover and Cook:
      • Cover the meat and sauce with baking paper and press with a resting rack.
      • Wrap the top of the tray tightly with foil.
      • Cook for 3.5 hours at 130°C in the oven (roast setting).
    • Cool Down:
      • After cooking, carefully remove the foil, rack, and baking paper.
      • Allow the meat to cool down in the sauce (leave the meat in the sauce).
    • Separate Meat and Sauce:
      • Take the meat off from the sauce once it has cooled down.
      • Break the meat into smaller pieces, and keep the marrow from the bones with the meat.

    Pasta

    Ingredients:

    • Dry spaghetti pasta
    • Water
    • Salt
    • Olive oil

    Instructions:

    • Boil Water: In a large pot, bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil.
    • Add salt to the boiling water. This will enhance the flavor of the pasta.
    • Cook Pasta:

      • Cook the pasta for approximately 6 ½ minutes. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preference for the desired doneness (al dente or softer).
      • To check if the pasta is cooked to your liking, taste a strand. It should have a slight firmness but not be hard.
      • Once the pasta is cooked, use a colander to strain and drain the water.
  • Serve:
    • Serve the Bolognese sauce over the cooked spaghetti into a bowl
    • Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately.
