Ingredients
- 450 g (1 lb) Ground beef
- 1 large Red Onion finely chopped
- 2 large Garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 180 ml Beef broth
- 1 sprig Fresh basil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley plus more for garnish
- ½ tsp Salt or to taste
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- 120 ml (½ cup) Cooking cream 15%
- 3 - 4 tbsp (¼ cup) Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 3 - 4 tbsp (¼ cup) (¼ cup) Emmental cheese shredded
- 450 g (1 lb) Pappardelle pasta
- Extra Parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until nicely browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Add aromatics: Add the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Cook the tomato paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly darkened. Add the basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Add the beef broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pappardelle in generously salted water until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- Finish the sauce: Reduce the skillet to low heat. Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and Emmental until melted and creamy.
- Combine: Add the pasta and toss until well coated. Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve immediately.
