Ingredients for the President’s Fettuccine

  • 500g egg fettuccine
  • 300g ground beef (or our ready-made Bolognese sauce)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 glass red wine
  • 400g peeled tomato puree
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf

Making fettuccine with Bolognese sauce

If you choose the convenience of ready-made Cortelazzi ragù, simply pour the contents of the jar into a pan and heat, then proceed to step 4.

If you prefer to make the ragù from scratch, follow these steps:

  1. Aromatic sauté: In a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the finely chopped onion, carrot, and celery until golden brown.
  2. Brown the meat: Add the ground meat and cook over medium heat until golden brown.
  3. Reduce heat and cook the ragù: Pour in the red wine and let the alcohol evaporate, then add the tomato puree, salt, pepper, rosemary, and bay leaves. Cook over low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine for about 10 minutes, until al dente.
  5. Season and serve: Drain the pasta, add it to the ragù, and toss gently to combine the flavors.
