From Food and Wine Nov 06. The "easy way" they recommend is the one here, using 'store-bought pappardelle, ground lamb and chicken stock, then top the dish with fresh ricotta and mint.

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 carrot, finely diced
1 onion, finely diced
1 celery rib, finely diced
1 1/2 lbs ground lamb
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chicken stock or 1 1/4 cups low-sodium broth
3/4 lb pappardelle pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped mint

Steps:

  • In a large cast-iron casserole, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the carrot, onion and celery and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 5 minutes. Add the lamb, coriander, fennel, cumin, rosemary and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, along with the stock and bring to a boil. Cover partially and cook over moderately low heat until the liquid is slightly reduced, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, shaking well. Add the pasta to the sauce. Add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and toss over low heat. Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with the ricotta and mint.
