Rose and Ragu!



How does a nice cold glass of gorgeous pink rose and a bowl of steaming hot pasta with homemade ragu sound?  Delicious!

A dear friend gave me her recipe for this wonderful, rich slow cook ragu pasta sauce, and it is a real winner.

Here's what you'll need to get started ...
  • 500 grams of organic beef, diced into cubes
  • One large onion.
  • Two cups of passata (tomato puree)
  • One cup of good red wine🍷 
  • 1/4 cup of fresh basil 🌿 
  • Half a bulb of garlic cloves - peeled 
  • Salt to taste 

Here's her wonderful recipe ...


1. Fry the diced onion in olive oil till golden, then add it to the slow cooker.


2.  Lightly coat the beef in some flour and brown the meat in the same pan.





3.  Add all the other ingredients in to the slow cooker, and cook on low for 16 hrs (as may friend said, this may sound overkill but it results in a delicious, rich sauce - and she's right!!!).








4. Serve with egg papperdelle, freshly grated parmesan and a lovely glass of rose!




Cheers and buon appetito!
