Slow Cooker Beef Ragu with Pappardelle

olive oil

garlic cloves, smashed slightly

flank steak, cut against the grain into 4 pieces

salt and pepper

(28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

beef broth

carrot, chopped

bay leaves

thyme

pappardelle pasta

Parmesan, ricotta, and parsley

In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Season the beef with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the tomatoes and broth over the beef and add the garlic from step one, carrots, bay leaves, and thyme.

Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours. Discard the herbs and shred the beef in the pot using 2 forks.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, return to the pot, and add the sauce from the slow cooker. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the pasta and sauce are combined, about 1 minute.

Divide among 8 bowls and top each with Parmesan, ricotta, and parsley. Serve hot!

Loving this right now! I've got a shoulder of lamb that will be getting this treatment tomorrow... with my brand new slow cooker! What a way to break it in! Thanks.

I prepared this exactly as written and was ...disappointed. I thought it was lacking flavor. I keep looking back through the ingredients and steps to make sure I didn’t miss anything.  Oh well, this one wasn’t for us. On to the next!

Never made a rich pasta ragu like this, but this is inspiring me to actually use my slow cooker (:

Umm Lucky!! I wanna meet Gina :) she has always seemed so genuinely sweet and the girl makes healthy delicious!  🙌 can't wait to try that right up there☝tho 😍

Lindsay and Gina I can't tell you how much my boyfriend and I loved this! Delicious and perfect in the cockpot when one of you has a last minute meeting (w, me) And the other works over night (him) next I want to try it with the polenta!

REALLY, really good and so easy!  My whole family enjoyed this and THAT is so rare!!

The perfect quick, easy and cheap dish! However, I ended up pairing my meat mixture with mashed potatoes rather then pasta. 10 out of 10 dish.

I made this yesterday and love it! I amended the recipe a little bit b/c I needed to use up some items in my fridge and pantry. I cooked it on high for 4 hours in my slow cooker and it came out perfectly. Thanks again for another awesome recipe!! Congrats on the baby!

Just made this recipe yesterday.  Turned out rich and delicious :)  Thanks for the great recipe!

I made it at lunch yesterday and the family loved it. Simple and easy to do!

A rich, versatile meat sauce: serve it Bolognese-style with spaghetti or use it as a base for lasagne or moussaka

Rich ragu

onion,halved and finely chopped

celery stick,finely diced

carrot,finely

pack minced beef steak

tomato purée

garlic cloves,finely grated

thyme leaves

red wine(or use extra beef stock)

beef stock

spaghetti

grated parmesan,plus extra to serve (optional)

side salad,to serve

Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion, celery and carrot. Fry over a medium heat for 10 mins, stirring now and then, until softened and starting to colour.

Stir in the mince and cook, breaking up any clumps of meat with a wooden spoon, until browned.

Add the tomato purée, garlic and thyme, and cook for 1-2 mins more. Pour in the wine, if using, and increase the heat to boil off most of the alcohol. Reduce the heat, stir in the stock and season. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and leave to cook gently for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Remove the lid and continue cooking for 15 mins. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Reserve a mugful of the cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and add to the ragu with the Parmesan. Toss well and add a little pasta water to help the sauce coat the spaghetti. Serve with a side salad and extra cheese, if you like.

We're making this cozy, comforting Beef Ragu with Pappardelle! Steak is braised in the crockpot for hours with garlic, tomatoes, veggies, and herbs, then shredded and piled high on pappardelle with Parm cheese.
