Recipe by Anna Stockwell This rich 15-minute ragù turns pasta or polenta into a quick hearty dinner any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 medium onion, peeled, quartered
  • 1 celery stalk, quartered
  • 1 small carrot, peeled, quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • Freshly grated Parmesan (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, process onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over high. Add chopped vegetables, beef, and pork and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until meat is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, oregano, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until reduced by half, about 1 minute more. Stir in tomato sauce, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, then stir in butter. Toss meat sauce with pasta, top with Parmesan, and season with pepper.
