Method
Follow the steps from top to bottom while you cook.
- 1
Finely chop the pancetta. Prepare the onion, carrot, and celery as an even soffritto.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan and gently brown the pancetta until the fat renders and it takes on a little colour.
- 3
Add the onion, carrot, and celery and let the vegetables soften slowly for 5 to 6 minutes without catching.
- 4
Add the beef, raise the heat slightly, and brown it properly while stirring until it loses its raw colour.
- 5
Pour in the red wine and let it reduce fully.
- 6
Stir in the tomato puree and add a couple of ladles of hot stock. Cover partly and let the ragu simmer very gently for at least 2 hours.
- 7
Check the pan every 20 minutes and add more stock or water if the sauce looks too dry. Season with salt and black pepper toward the end.
- 8
Cook the spaghetti al dente in well-salted water. Toss with the ragu or spoon the sauce over the top and finish with Parmigiano Reggiano if you like.
