Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds of ground lamb

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced

1 carrot, finely diced

1 celery stalk, finely diced

1 cup of dry red wine

1 can (14 ounces) of crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon of tomato paste

1 teaspoon of dried oregano

1 bay leaf

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

1 pound of fresh pappardelle pasta

1 cup of fresh mint leaves

½ cup of olive oil

Salt to taste for mint oil

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the mint leaves and olive oil over low heat for about 10 minutes. Strain the oil into a small bowl, add a pinch of salt, and set aside.

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and add chopped onion, sautéing until translucent (about 5 minutes).

Add diced carrot and celery to the pot, cooking until softened (another 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Increase heat slightly and add ground lamb, breaking it up as it cooks until browned (about 8-10 minutes).

Pour in red wine, scrape up bits from the bottom of the pot, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, bringing to a gentle simmer.

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the ragu cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

About 20 minutes before the ragu is done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle according to package instructions.

Drain the pasta and toss with the ragu. Serve on warm plates and drizzle the mint oil on top.

Notes

A comforting and hearty lamb ragu pappardelle dish enhanced with a fresh mint oil to elevate your dining experience.
