Ragù Napoletano - Neapolitan-Style Italian Meat Sauce with Paccheri Pasta Recipe
Report
Although this recipe takes some time to prepare, the result is a filling two-course meal. Ragù Napoletano involves cooking meat in a gravy-like sauce, then serving the sauce over pasta as a first course. The meat, or braciole, is then served as the second course. Thrown in a leafy salad and you have a full three-course dinner!

Instructions
- Finely chop 4 cloves of garlic and mix with the parsley.
- Spread the beef slices on a clean working surface and lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on each slice.
- Spread the garlic and parsley mixture evenly on each slice and top with a slice of pancetta.
- Carefully roll each slice from the bottom to the top and secure with toothpicks.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the braciole and sear until each side is lightly brown.
- Add the wine and cook for a few minutes.
- Remove the braciole to a plate. Add the onions, the carrot, and the rest of the garlic to the pan and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Return the braciole to the pan, cover, turn to a very low heat, and slow-cook for about 2 hours, stirring frequently.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain well, and transfer to a serving bowl. Spoon some sauce carefully over the pasta to coat.
- Serve immediately, adding a sprinkle of pecorino and some chopped parsley.
- Serve the braciole on a separate platter as a second course.
