Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g/14oz stewing beef, cubed
  • 700ml/1¼ pints hot water or beef stock
  • 300g/10½oz mixed mushrooms
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 400g/14oz vine-ripened tomatoes, each cut into eight wedges
  • handful chopped fresh basil
  • handful chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
  • 1½ tsp red wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 250g/9oz dried eggpappardelle
  • 1 heaped tbsp butter
  • 40g/1½oz freshly grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the beef and brown all over, stirring regularly.
  • Add the mushrooms and pour over the water or beef stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Half-cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook the mixture over a high heat, stirring regularly, for 30-45 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced, the sauce has thickened and the meat is tender enough to break down using a wooden spoon.
  • For the tomato salsa, in a bowl, mix together all of the tomato salsa ingredients until well combined.
  • Add the cooked, drained pasta, softened butter and half of the grated parmesan to the slow-cooked beef and mushrooms, stirring well until the pasta is coated in the sauce and the butter has melted.
  • Divide the pappardelle with slow-cooked beef and mushrooms equally among four serving bowls. Spoon over the tomato salsa and sprinkle over the remaining parmesan.
