The best gift you can give this meal is time. Prep is super quick, but allowing the sauce to slow cook for a few hours will pull out all the delicious flavors!

I don’t always have the time to make it, but traditional ragu always hits the spot for me. Low and slow cooking always brings out so much flavor and makes the meat melt in your mouth tender. If you can’t find or don’t want Tagliatelle pasta you can sub in anything you want!

For those of you that need this meal Gluten Free, it is incredibly easy. Just sub out the noodles for gluten free ones. If using a Tagliatelle noodle, I recommend Jovial Foods brand. It tastes the exact some and also doesn’t break apart when cooked. Here are some other notes about the prep

Veggies – When you chop up the onion, celery, and carrots make sure they are very small (almost minced). This helps keep a smooth consistency for the sauce, and also can trick you kids into thinking there aren’t any veggies in the meal!

Meat – If you can, make sure to use both ground beef and pork. Break it apart into little chunks as it cooks and add the wine in before the meat is fully cooked through

Tomatoes – I chose to use Fire-Roasted tomatoes. My favorite brand for those is Muir Glen. Buy them diced and blend them up into a puree. You can absolutely do the same with fresh tomatoes as well.

Broth – The recipe calls for 2-3 cups of broth. I start with 2 and then slowly add more in throughout the cook as it evaporates. If you want to use more or less feel free. Everyone loves their sauces at a different thickness

We served it with some garlic bread and a salad. Don’t need much and you don’t want to take away from the delicious flavor of the meal.
