Method

  1. 1

    Season and brown the beef shin in batches in a heavy casserole dish with a little oil over a high heat. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the onion in the same pan for 5 minutes, add 3 cloves of garlic, and cook for 1 minute more.

  3. 3

    Return the beef, pour in the red wine and passata, season well, then cover and simmer on a very low heat for at least 45 minutes until the meat is falling apart.

  4. 4

    Shred the beef with two forks and stir back into the sauce. Cook the pappardelle in salted boiling water and drain.

  5. 5

    Mix the parsley, lemon zest, and remaining raw garlic clove to make a gremolata. Serve the ragu over the pasta, topped with the gremolata.
