Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 10 to 11 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Start the ragu
- Halve the celery lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the carrots and celery. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until browned.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until nicely browned; season with S&P.
Finish the ragu
- To the pan, add the tomato paste and beef*; season with the spices and S&P.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
- Add the demi-glace, onions and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 min, until combined.
Combine the pasta & serve
- To the pan, add the pasta; toss well.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
