Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Put the onion, the carrot, the celery and the garlic in the mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 5.
  2. Add the oil and saute the soffritto 8 min/120°C/spoon speed.
  3. Add the ground meat and saute 5 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed so it browns loosely.
  4. Pour in the red wine and let it evaporate 3 min/Varoma/spoon speed without the measuring cup.
  5. Add the crushed tomato, the sugar, the oregano, salt and pepper and mix 5 sec/speed 3.
  6. Set 35 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed without the measuring cup to reduce the sauce.
  7. Check the texture and, if it is very liquid, extend 10 min/Varoma/reverse/spoon speed.
  8. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve over spaghetti or tagliatelle and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Tips

  • The longer it simmers, the tastier the ragu will be.
  • A dash of milk at the end softens the acidity of the tomato.
