      Ingredients

      1 1 red onion, quartered

      1 1 celery stalk, roughly chopped

      1 1 cloves garlic, peeled

      2 tablespoons olive oil

      100 g pancetta or lardons

      2 teaspoons ground fennel

      teaspoon 1/2 dried chilli flakes

      700 g beef mince

      small bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped

      2 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped

      50 ml red wine

      150 ml beef stock

      1 375 ml passata

      1 bay leaves

      Step by step

      1. Insert the Mulitblade and add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Press PULSE for 5 seconds.

      2. Remove the Multiblade and add the StirAssist. Add the oil, pancetta, fennel, chilli flakes and minced beef and select STEW P7 and press START.

      3. At the end of STEP 1, add the parsley, rosemary and the red wine and reduce the time in STEP 2 to 10 mins. Press START to continue.

      4. At the end of STEP 2, add the stock, passata and the bay leaves. Manually increase the time for STEP 3 to 60 mins. Press start to continue. Once ready, you can serve the ragu with linguine or tagliatelle with a little extra parsley.

      5. If making the 4 or 2 person recipe check the cooking in the final step as it may not need the full 60 minutes. The finished ragu can be divided and frozen for up to a month.

      6. You can vary the type of mince used, a mix of pork and veal is a great alternative to the beef.

      7. If you reduce the amount of stock and passata a little this sauce can also be used as the filling for a lasagna.
